Brinda Pushes Plan to End Elyria Health District
Elyria Mayor Holly Brinda proposes merging the Elyria Health District with Lorain County Health District to save hundreds of thousands yearly. City Council Strategic Planning Committee will hear from County Health Commissioner Dave Covell and Elyria Health District president pro Tem Dr Roy Thomas on the merger rationale. Brinda backs the switch, which could take effect Jan 1 if approved, a move debated amid Lorain County cities Avon Lake and Lorain not yet under county district.

Lorain to vote on budget amid $3.6 million deficit
Lorain City Council and Mayor Chase Ritenauer push to approve the 2016 budget by a Thursday deadline. A Finance and Claims Committee meeting at 5:30 p.m. will invite public comment, followed by a 6 p.m. council meeting. The package may include a tax credit reduction and employee furloughs to raise about $3.4 million, with furloughs estimated to save $675,000. The tax credit cut would shift from full to 33.33 percent in 2016 and 75 percent in 2017 before returning to full in 2018, affecting residents who work outside Lorain. Some council members weigh the impact on constituents and potential layoffs.
