Begun in the 1980’s, this is an organization of council members from nine local communities. Amongst its purposes is the honing of its members’ civic-related skills to better address their residents’ questions. “I get updates on a continual basis,” said Ward. “We have educational breakfast meetings. They bring in subject-matter experts to talk to us about different matters that councils should be skilled-up on. It’s been a good organization to be a part of. It’s fun.” And the mayor is president of the Suburban Police Anti-Crime Network (SPAN), serving Cuyahoga County. “We’re not rural or urban,” he said. “We’re suburban Ohio; a second-ring suburb, touching a couple of communities that actually share borders with the city of Cleveland. SPAN is a law- enforcement collaborative of five communities.” The group is well equipped to protect and serve. Ward extolled Lyndhurst Police Department
