Cindy Strebig: public-record dossier (v1, link-verified)
Compiled 2026-10-13 (ET). Coverage: Lakewood City Council records from Oct 12, 2025 to Oct 12, 2026 (approved minutes, dockets and official video), the official city page, and certified 2025 election results where relevant. Only the public record is used. Positions appear only as the minutes' own wording (marked [paraphrase from minutes]), signed documents, or recorded votes. Nothing here describes beliefs or motives beyond what the record says.
How to check a claim: every claim has an ID and at least one link to the exact page or video moment. PDF links open at the page (#page=N is the PDF page; desktop browsers honor it, some phone viewers don't, so the page number is also in the link text). Rules: dossiers/RULES.md.
Labels: [paraphrase from minutes] = the Clerk's summary in the approved minutes, quoted word for word. machine transcript = our automatic transcription of the public video; wording can be off, so listen at the link. machine speaker ID = the speaker was identified automatically by voice matching, not by any official record. Self-description = the person's own words, not independently verified.

3. Recorded votes
Most Council votes in these minutes are recorded only as "All members voted in favor" (or similar), so a member's vote on those items is a yes only if the member was present. The minutes do not keep a per-member roll for most items. The entries below are every vote in the window's minutes where the record names this member as voting no, abstaining, recusing, or absent for the vote, plus split votes they took part in (found by searching each minutes page for "Nay", "abstain", "recuse" and "absent for the vote").

- ST-105 "Cindy Strebig is a small business owner, community activist, and concerned citizen" (city page).
9. Unverified / pending public source
Nothing in this section is stated as fact. Each item says what's missing and what will settle it.
- U-1 Which committees did this member sit on before the current rosters? The City's committee pages show only today's members, and the 2025 minutes show different chairs (for example "Chair Baker" on HPD and "Chair Bullock" on Finance in fall 2025). Pending: Council's 2025 and 2026 committee-assignment communications.
- U-2 How did this member vote on the many items recorded only as "All members voted in favor"? The minutes don't keep a per-member roll for those items, so this dossier lists only votes where the record names the member. Pending: roll-call records from the Clerk (not requested; needs Justin's OK).
- U-3 Meetings after the latest approved minutes (Oct 5, 2026 and later) aren't covered here except through machine-transcript remarks. Speaker attributions in section 7 rest on machine speaker ID. Pending: approved minutes, which name speakers in paraphrase.
- U-4 Not yet pulled: campaign finance reports (Cuyahoga BOE), the Ohio Ethics Commission financial disclosure (needs a public-records request; not sent), and candidate questionnaires.
- U-5 Nov 2023 Ward 3 election result and the start of her service. Pending: Cuyahoga BOE certified Nov 2023 results PDF.
