City of Lakewood City Council Council At Large Sarah Kepple, President Thomas R.

The first topic was Resolution 2025-45, which would adopt a Gender Freedom Policy for the City of Lakewood in response to ongoing attacks to transgender rights at the state and national levels. We welcomed Dara Adkison Executive Director for Trans Ohio), Elizabeth Katavich (Lead Advocacy Coordinator, LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland), and Sean McCann (Policy Strategist, ACLU of Ohio) to provide feedback on the proposed legislation. The legislation was substituted in committee with a revised version that included edits from the Law Department and community partners. A few additional edits were made on the floor in response to the committee discussion. The substituted legislation was referred favorably back to full Council for adoption. The second topic on the agenda was a series of three resolutions to appoint community members to openings on the City’s boards and commissions including Planning Commission, Tree Advisory Board, and the newly established Complete and Active Streets Education & Advisory Board. Councilmembers moved to enter Executive Session for the purpose of considering the appointment of a public official. The Committee of the Whole met again on September 29, 2025, to interview six candidates to fill the upcoming vacancy on the Planning Commission. The interviews were held in the East Conference room and were open to the public. Each interview lasted 15-20 minutes, during which time council members asked questions to better understand the qualifications and unique skillset of each candidate. After the interviews were over, councilmembers voted to enter Executive Session for the purpose of considering the appointment of a public official. I expect that Council will act on Resolution 2025-40 to make an appointment to the Planning Commission at the General Meeting on October 6th. Council would like to thank all of the applicants for taking the time to participate in the interview process and for their willingness to serve the City of Lakewood. Sincerely, Sarah Kepple President of Council Councilmember At Large 001

WHEREAS, the transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual) community in Lakewood and nationally are being attacked by the Trump Administration's recent executive actions, including: x The Trump Administration’s executive order on January 20, 2025 stating that the U.S. government will now recognize only two sexes-- male and female-- and define sex as “ an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female,” and erasing gender as a meaningful identifier in official policies and documents; x The Trump Administration’ s executive order on January 28, 2025, attempting to withhold funding for healthcare entities who provide gender-affirming medical treatments for children and teenagers under the age of 19 and discrediting relevant scientific literature on gender-affirming care; x The US Office of Personnel Management’s memo dated January 29th, 2025 instructing all federal agencies to remove all programs, grants, website pages, guidance and more that promote gender ideology” and attempting to ending legal recognition of transgender people by removing references to gender on all forms that previously requested this information; WHEREAS, in January 2024, the Ohio General Assembly voted to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto against Ohio House Bill 68 (“ H.B. 68”), a bill that bans transgender, non- binary, and gender-expansive minors from receiving gender-affirming health care; and WHEREAS, transgender immigrants, refugees, and asylees face additional gender-based persecution due to their immigration status; and WHEREAS, the Human Rights Campaign reported in 2023 that, 85% of all victims of fatal violence against transgender and gender diverse people identified since 2013 are members of the BIPOC ( Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities with almost two-thirds ( 61.8%) of victims have been black trans women; and WHEREAS, a survey of transgender Americans by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force reveals that 18 percent of respondents were unemployed. 34 percent of respondents reported experiencing poverty, and 30 percent had experienced homelessness in their lifetimes. Further, 11 percent of respondents who previously had held a job reported being fired, forced to resign, or laid off because of their gender identity or expression; and WHEREAS, gender- affirming health care is evidence- based and broadly supported by major medical associations, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American QWURGXFHG 6XEVWLWXWHG LQ FRPPLWWHH 002

Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, the Endocrine Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Urological Association, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the Children’s Hospital Association; and WHEREAS, as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Third Amended Charter of the City of Lakewood, this Council by a vote of at least two thirds of its members determines that this resolution is an emergency measure and that it shall take effect immediately, and that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public property, health, and safety and to provide for the usual daily operation of municipal departments, in that the lives and wellbeing of transgender individuals is at stake; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, OHIO: Section 1.

City of Lakewood City Council Council At Large Sarah Kepple, President Thomas R. Bullock III Angelina Hamilton Steiner Ward Council Kyle Baker, Ward 1, Vice President Bryan Evans, Ward 2 Cindy Strebig, Ward 3 Cindy Marx, Ward 4 City of Lakewood Administrative Policy regarding Gender Freedom In light of the numerous federal and state attempts to target and restrict the rights and dignity of transgender people, and due to the threat of criminalizing certain forms of gender related expression, the City of Lakewood (“ City) finds it necessary to establish a policy regarding the use of public funds or resources in the investigation and the prosecution of individuals for their personal choices regarding health care and expression. Under Ohio’s Home Rule Authority, the City has the authority to prioritize the utilization of resources and exercise prosecutorial discretion. Lakewood is the most densely populated municipality in Ohio and experiences crime like any other densely populated inner ring suburbs. Therefore, Lakewood will not prioritize the use of its scarce resources, including, but not limited to, time spent by employees, officers, contractors, or subcontractors while on duty, or the use of city property, for detaining, surveilling, interviewing, or investigating persons seeking, receiving, facilitating, or providing gender-affirming care, including but not limited to gender affirmation surgery or gender hormone therapy and legal guardians seeking gender-affirming care on behalf of dependents. Further, the City will not prioritize the use of city funds or resources for cooperating with or providing information to any individual, in or out-of-state agency or department, or federal agency or department regarding the provision of gender-affirming healthcare including gender-affirming mental healthcare performed in Lakewood and the State of Ohio. Further, the City recognizes that legislation that has previously been introduced in the Ohio General Assembly would restrict and criminalize “performers or entertainers who exhibit a gender identity that is different from the performer’ s or entertainer’s gender assigned at birth.” Therefore, it is the City’s policy that investigations of individuals, organizations, and businesses performing or hosting drag performances or entertainment which would not otherwise fall under the City’ s enforcement of Obscenity law, were gender identity or expression not explicitly targeted; and, investigations of individuals, organizations, and healthcare providers in Lakewood facilitating gender-affirming care as supported by major medical associations i and facilitation of other policies and laws aimed to harm transgender and gender diverse people to be the lowest possible priority, to help ensure transgender and gender diverse people have access to healthcare, housing, education, employment, and self-expression without fear of discrimination. Any report or other record created and held by the City, which contains medical information regarding gender-affirming healthcare will be considered confidential health information and not subject to release, except with the consent of the individual as required by the health insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Employees who may regularly gather such information from the public will be trained to protect confidential health information and to not collect unnecessary health information related to gender-affirming care. Finally, Lakewood also has the authority to determine the types of employee benefits that it currently offers employees to ensure their health and wellness, respecting their private healthcare decisions. As a result, Lakewood will continue to provide medical coverage for employees and covered family members who seek gender-affirming care even if such care must legally be provided outside the State of Ohio. i the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, the Endocrine Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Urological Association, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the Children’ s Hospital Association 004

Representative Edward Roybal (Los Angeles) introduced legislation that was ultimately signed into law by President Johnson in 1968. This legislation honored a weeklong celebration in September. Ultimately the weeklong celebration was expanded under President Reagan in 1988 when it became a month-long celebration. Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor, support, reflect, celebrate, uplift and empower the Hispanic and Latino community. It is a time to educate ourselves and the greater community about the many contributions that Hispanics have made to better society and this country. From labor, to the arts and sciences, to business and entertainment, Hispanics have made and improved life for us all and have joined with other cultures and ethnicities in solidarity in movements across this country. I encourage all in the community to join us in honoring Hispanic Heritage Month. Thank you! Angelina Hamilton Steiner Sarah Kepple Member of Council, At Large President of Council, Member At Large 008

WHEREAS, SUDEP refers to the sudden, unexpected death of a person with epilepsy, who is otherwise healthy, and where no other cause of death has been identified. Neither SUDEP’s causes nor its risk factors are well-understood by the medical community; and, WHEREAS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, SUDEP is the leading cause of death in people with epilepsy, cutting short the lives of an estimated 1 in 1,000 people with epilepsy per year; and WHEREAS, the public, including doctors, those living with epilepsy, and those who care for someone with epilepsy, are oftentimes unaware of the SUDEP’s threat and the handful of precautions that can mitigate its risk; and, WHEREAS, in 2022 the Lakewood community lost one of its young and vibrant residents, the late Brenna Brossard, to SUDEP at the age of 25, for whom we mourn; and, WHEREAS, this October we stand with the Brossard family to honor the memory of Brenna and to call for increased awareness, education, and conversation with healthcare professionals to lessen the impact of SUDEP in our community; now therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, OHIO: Section 1. That this Council and Administration does hereby declare the month of October 2025 as SUDEP Awareness Month to raise awareness and increase prevention efforts of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. Section 2. That this Council and Administration encourages individuals and families of those with epilepsy to speak with their doctors about SUDEP and educate themselves on the associated risks and prevention strategies.

That this Council and Administration recognize the family of the late Brenna Brossard for their work to raise awareness of SUDEP and express sincerest condolences for their loss and extend condolences to all of those who have lost a loved one to Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy. Section 4. It is found and determined that all formal actions of this Council concerning and relating to the passage of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Council, and that all such deliberations of this Council and any of its committees that resulted in such formal action, were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements. 014

The legislation, known as the CROWN Act, stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN). Cuyahoga County’ s initiative is based upon similar legislation adopted in 28 states and many municipalities including Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland Heights, and Columbus. Because of harmful bias, people of color oftentimes face a range of pressures to conform their hair and appearance toôèèÍîÍîæôÍ ôôôÍôôèîÍôÍ unprofessional or inappropriate and denied employment, educational or housing opportunities. Other times, they are implicitly discriminated against through unfair exclusion and negative judgements. Cuyahoga County’ s CROWN Act would make it illegal to discriminate against people for their natural hair texture and or hairstyles such as braids, locs or Afros. Furthermore, it would update the county’ s employee handbook to include hair among protected traits to ensure that county workers are explicitly protected from race-based hair discrimination. Given the failure of similar legislation to succeed at the State level, we especially appreciate Cuyahoga ôÍîôèIÍîôîô i® b èÍÍîæôôôôîô Lakewood. Cuyahoga County’ s CROWN Act was introduced on September 9th and referred to committee. ôôÍôÍôîôèôŽôÍÍŽôÍôièæô Let’s join together to let the County know that they have our support. I move that the attached letter be signed by all members of this body. Sincerely, Cindy Strebig Angelina Hamilton Steiner Lakewood City Council, Ward 3 Councilmember At Large She/ her She/ her 016

City of Lakewood City Council Council At Large Sarah Kepple, President Ward Council October 6, 2025 Lakewood City Council Lakewood, Ohio RE: Council Budget Priorities Dear Colleagues,As you know, each year about this time, the finance department begins pulling togethera proposed operational budget and five-year capital plan in accordance with the following sections of the Charter: Article 5.5: On or before the second city council meeting in November in each year, the director of finance shall prepare an estimate of the expense of conducting the affairs of the city for the following year. Article 5.7: Annually, after consultation with the mayor and the heads of affected city departments, the director of finance shall prepare and submit to the mayor and council a recommended five- year financial plan for the city's capital needs.It has historically been council’s practiceto articulate council budget priorities to the administration for incorporation into the budget and capital planning. This can be difficult to do once the proposed budget has already been prepared and carefully balancedby the finance department, so council has worked over the past few yearsto be prepared to share these priorities earlierin the process.Therefore, Council held two retreats earlier this yearto identify legislative and budget priorities. As council leadership recognizes the limitsof city resources including staff time and tax dollars, Councilmembers were givena finite number of spoons to indicate spoons of energy that they would commit toa policy priority, and finite number of money bagsto indicate budget priorities. The attached chart provides a summaryof those priorities. Itis my hope that providing this summary to Counciland the Administration in advance will help facilitate a smooth, efficient, and effective budget process.Sincerely, Sarah Kepple President of Council Councilmember at

The meetingstartedby discussinga new Board Alumni Program intended to engage former Board Members in the current activities of LakewoodAlive ( event planned for November) and a recap of the new Board Member Orientation Event held on September 4th. Various committees then gave updates, including information from the Marketing Committee about the new LakewoodAlive website. The Community Placemaking and Design Committee also provided an update on “Walking Surveys” that committee members/ volunteers are completing to identify any issues and eventually report them to the City. This work will dovetail nicely with the newly formed CASE Advisory Board. Councilmembers looking to get more involved with and support LakewoodAlive can attend an event or talk with me about joininga committee or participating in a volunteer project. For a full list of LakewoodAlive’ s upcoming events, please subscribe to their weekly newsletter. Of note, the Spooky Pooch Parade is set to take place on October 11, 2025 starting at 12:30 at Madison Park and the immensely popular Light Up Lakewood is scheduled for December 6, 2025.

The giveaway commenced on September 17th, with all 200 trees being claimed within 48 hours. Once again, the TAEB collaborated with the Arbor Day Foundation to curate a mix of trees appropriate for our region, this time concentrating on smaller ornamental species that have been popular with the community. Those who claimed trees will pick them up on October 11th. Board members have been coordinating with staff at Cove Community Center and myself to create intergenerational programming in its outdoor spaces. With 168 different plant species on the property, the Cove campus is a test case for a mini-arboretum concept that could translate well to other city parks. Signage identifying tree types is in the works, as are other educational and programming initiatives on the campus. The Lakewood Garden Club intends to make a contribution toward a memorial gift entranceway to this new mini-arboretum. In other public city spaces, the TAEB is working with the city forestry department to place signage identifying trees at Lakewood Park, and are working with the Lakewood Public Library to update the Story Walks at Madison and Kauffman Park with tree-related books. Several TAEB members attended this year’s Cuyahoga Tree Summit in Rocky River, where they learned about tree and plant supply chain issues in Northeast Ohio. Board members are also working on a grant application with the Healthy Lakewood Foundation to continue their good work throughout the community, and the TAEB will also have a presence at this year’s Welcome to Lakewood event. The board also looks forward to visiting council this fall to discuss all of this year’s accomplishments.
