CLEVELAND, Ohio – The city of Cleveland is looking for a new public utilities director to replace Robert Davis, the at-times embattled director who quietly left his job Friday.

Assistant Utilities Director Martin Keane said Tuesday he was tabbed as acting director with Davis’ departure.
U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake approved the agreement that includes a $900,000 settlement. A portion of that sum will be paid to 52 public housing residents named as plaintiffs.

At about 2 p.m., organized criminal gangs flooded the city targeting the mall and downtown businesses. Hundreds of stores were damaged or looted as criminals roamed unimpeded throughout parts of town while police clashed with protesters near the pier using tear gas to disperse the crowd. Order was restored in the early evening following the arrival of the National Guard and mandatory curfews.
Dear Mayor Wilson, Vice Mayor Bennett-Parker and Members of the City Council:
The Alexandria Federation of Civic Associations (AFCA) is compelled to address policy being drafted by the Department of Planning and Zoning for City Council s consideration that will make accessory dwelling units (ADUs) a by-right use for single-family parcels. AFCA understands that ADUs take many forms, some of which our member associations might be inclined to support.
