"Welcome to the City of Cleveland"

A Letter from the City Manager

As City Manager and on behalf of Mayor Jill Kirkonis and the Cleveland City Council, I would like to welcome you to the growing Cleveland area.  I have only a little space in which to help you become acquainted with Cleveland and to take advantage of our city services, so I will be brief. 

Most community information may be obtained by visiting the Official City of Cleveland website, www.clevelandtexas.com or tuning into local Cable Channel 95, if you subscribe to CMA Cable.  On Channel 95 you will find broadcasts of City Council meetings as well as important notices, community events and local advertisements.  You can also check out the local newspaper, The Cleveland Advocate, for recent news and events or visit them online a www.clevelandadvocate.com.   Our City Council meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Cleveland City Hall at 907 E. Houston Ave.  You may also want to visit our Public Library website at www.austinmemlib.org where you can reserve books online and check out scheduled programs and events.  And finally, you may also contact me, Philip Cook, at (281) 592-2667 with any questions.  Everyone in City Council and at City Hall wants to help and inform you about our community programs.  Our friendly receptionist at City Hall can provide you with contact information for our current Mayor and council members or direct you to the right person to address your needs.

It can be a very busy time for newcomers; finding a church, enrolling children in school, and registering to vote are all important.  You can register to vote by visiting the Tax Office at the Liberty County Annex Building on Campbell St.  You can vote in the upcoming May election if registered by April 1st.   You may contact the Tax Office at 281-593-8415.

Lastly, we want you to know that the City’s recent building projects are complete with the addition of a new Civic Center, City Hall, EMS building, and a renovated Library.  To find out about public events at the Civic Center or for more information about facility rental, please visit www.clevelandciviccenter.net. These new projects show that Cleveland is ready and receptive to growth.  If you are considering bringing an industrial development to our community, contact our Economic Development Corporation by calling Cleveland City Hall.  And remember, you can get involved in our community by becoming a volunteer.  Without volunteers, we cannot accomplish our community goals.  Besides repeating our welcome to Cleveland, let me remind you to call us with any questions, concerns, or comments about your community.  

Sincerely

Philip Cook

City Manager

 

 

A Cleaner Cleveland Aids Quality of Life

Philip Cook, Cleveland City Manager 

Quality of life can mean different things to different people  - good jobs, exceptional schools, clean and safe neighborhoods, a variety of recreational opportunities or varied shopping options.  Regardless of one’s point of view, everyone should agree that by improving Cleveland each of these areas will benefit.   

According to Keep Texas Beautiful, a non-profit affiliate of Keep American Beautiful, “a clean and beautiful environment can play an important role in a city’s economic development efforts.”  Communities such as Lufkin have seen indirect results of maintaining a clean, litter-free community especially when major employers such as American Freightways and Blue Bell Creameries selected Lufkin town to open or expand their operations.   

So what does this mean to Cleveland?  It means that we need to all work together to improve our town.  The often forgotten ‘appearance and cleanliness’ of our community is as important in creating a more healthy town as other quality of life factors. 

Community leadership and Cleveland City Council are organizing three upcoming events that should help build cooperation and improve Cleveland. 

  1. May 6 for a Council convened 2035 Community Goals Task Force that will meet to develop strategies to improve the quality of life and challenge the next generation with specific community goals.  The thought is when Cleveland reaches its 100th birthday, community leaders will reflect on the goals established by this generation to create a destination and a community that is attractive not only as a place to live, but also to work.

 

  1. May 15 for the 9th Annual Cleanup Cleveland Day – an event encouraging residents to join together in picking up litter and beautifying our community.

 

  1. July 3 and 4th for the 75th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the City of Cleveland – a celebration acknowledging Cleveland’s past while moving forward towards Cleveland’s unlimited future. 

 

Important Information About

Water Shut-off Policy

Cleveland water customers were advised of a new water shut- off policy on their recent water bills.  The statement, New shut off valve requirement.  Call Water Dept for more info., was too general in nature.  The policy will not apply to most customers.  Read More
