PUBLIC NOTICES-
STREET LAWN TREES
MAY NEED YOUR ATTENTION (added 6-12-13)
To maintain a safe
Village, residents and property owners are reminded that Village code
requires them to trim all trees and shrubbery that overhang a public
street, sidewalk, or alley. This includes trees and shrubs planted
between the sidewalk and street. Tree branches are to be trimmed to a
minimum clearance above ground of ten feet over sidewalks and 12 feet
over streets. Shrubs are to be trimmed so that no foliage overhangs
the sidewalk or street.
VILLAGE SCHEDULE FOR
THE WEEK OF JULY 4th (added 6-12-13)
Village Hall will be closed on Thursday, July 4 in observance of the
holiday. Recycling and trash will be collected on MONDAY, JULY
8. The holiday will have NO affect on our yard waste
pickup, which will be Monday, July 1 and 8 as usual.
SEVEN
AWARDED 2013 PAUL J. FALCO SCHOLARSHIPS (added 5-29-13)
For the 15th consecutive year, Paul J. Falco Scholarships have been
awarded to students from the Village of Marble Cliff who demonstrate
outstanding scholastic and leadership qualities. The late Paul J.
Falco, who served as Mayor of the Village for 36 years, was an ardent
supporter of the Village, its residents, and the pursuit of life-long
learning. The generosity of the endowment created by Mayor Falco and
his wife, Bobbie Hall Falco, provides the opportunity to recognize
talented Marble Cliff youth seeking a college education.
Jack Kukura, Marble
Cliff Council member and the Paul J. Falco Scholarship Committee
chair, presented Falco scholarships to seven Marble Cliff students
during the Grandview Heights High School Annual Award Assembly held in
May. The 2013 recipients are Judith Basting, Lauren Jones, Courtney
O’Mara, Madeline Varner,
Adam Cincione, Madeline McGregor, and Lindsey Smith.
ITEMS WITH FREON
WILL NO LONGER BE PICKED UP (added 10-2-12)
The EPA licensed recycler that the City of
Grandview Heights uses no longer accepts freezers,
refrigerators, air conditioners or dehumidifiers. These items
were previously stored on City property with metal scraps for
collection by our recycler. The City can no longer pick up or store
these items, as Grandview Heights Service Dept. is not EPA licensed to
handle them. Effective immediately, Marble Cliff residents must make
their own arrangements for disposal of the above named items.
Grandview has provided a list of companies who will accept the items,
some at no charge (Click on PUBLIC NOTICES above).
RESIDENTS
URGED TO MINIMIZE STORM WATER CONTAMINATION (added 4-16-12)
As the heavy summer rains hit Marble Cliff, residents are reminded
that storm water pollution is caused by the daily activities of people
everywhere. Rainwater and snowmelt that run off our streets and lawns
pick up fertilizers, dirt, pesticides, oil and grease, and many other
pollutants on the way to the Scioto River. Residents are urged to do
the following things to prevent storm water pollution from leaving our
Village:
-
Pick up after
your pet.
-
Wash you car on
the grass, not the driveway.
-
Apply lawn and
garden chemicals sparingly.
-
Never throw
litter in the streets; place cigarette butts in the trash.
-
Recycle motor
oil.
-
Compost your
yard waste, including grass clippings and leaves.
-
Have gutters and
down spouts drain onto the ground, not onto driveways.
-
Clean up spilled
brake fluid, grease, and antifreeze, rather than hosing them off
into the storm drains.
-
Dispose of
household cleaners and paint. Don’t pour them down toilets or storm
water drains.
A clean Village with clean water is a goal of the Village. Citizens
are encouraged to report illegal dumping and illicit sewer connections
to Village Hall (486-6993) for further investigation. Confidentiality
will be maintained.

REPORTING SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOWS (added 9-16-09) The Village of Marble Cliff has
established a procedure for the reporting of possible sanitary sewer
overflows. If you believe a sanitary sewer overflow may have occurred
or is occurring, please call the Village Hall at 486-6993 or Grandview
Heights Service Department at 488-4728.
POOPER SCOOPER REMINDER:
It's more than showing respect for your neighbor's property, it's also
the law.
Warm weather usually brings more people outdoors, including pet owners
exercising their animals. This is a good time to remember that
pet owners are required pick up and dispose of any fecal matter left
by their dogs and cats on any public or private property and to have in their
possession, a device for this purpose. Please be a responsible
pet owner and keep Marble Cliff clean!
