Dear Villagers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving in these very trying times. We have so many things in our
Village to be thankful for each and every day.

I thank everyone who voted for our renewal levy, which was not a tax increase. All of the money from
the levy stays in the Village. Gates Mills levies are a major source of revenue in covering the operation of
our Village. We really appreciate your support.

If your power is out, please report the outage to First Energy at 888-LIGHTS (888-544-4877) - even if you think your neighbors have called. This will help them appropriately monitor and account for outages.

Here is a link to First Energy's helpful guide to what to do if you lose power.

Dear Villagers,

Our beautiful fall colors have arrived! The Valley is bright with many colors and shapes. Autumn also brings an end to Daylight Savings time. Remember to change your clocks November 1st when we “fall back” one hour.

The Village’s Halloween Event was held on October 30th as a drive through this year. Cars were filled with lots of goblins and ghosts. A big thank you is given to our Service Department, Community Building staff and Town Hall Coordinators for all of the work preparing and setting up the COVID friendly event.
