Cleveland Heights Mayor Jim Petras has laid out a vision for stability in his first four months in office. His State of the City address was held at the Cleveland Heights Community Center and broadcast live-streamed and recorded. Petras highlighted several issues facing the city, including deferred maintenance and financial issues. He also addressed the city's historic housing stock. The city lost its bond rating two years in a row after failing to file state audits. During his first 100 days in office, Petras focused on filling key leadership roles, including the city administrator position and finance director position. The transparency has been achieved, with Petras stating that the city is buying 70 percent more vehicles than any other city in the country.
