Key outcomes included approval of an emergency ordinance authorizing interfund transfers tied to the 2025 budget, adoption of a Fair Housing Month resolution, passage of a grant resolution to seek a 12-passenger van for senior services, and first-readings or referrals to second readings for multiple zoning and right-of-way items.

Why it matters: The actions tidy zoning map inconsistencies, add a vehicle to support senior services, and finalize fiscal housekeeping tied to the 2025 budget. Several items were advanced so staff can provide additional technical details (e.g., hazardous-materials handling, legal easement language) before final council votes.

Next steps: Council directed staff to supply fact sheets and technical information for items sent to second reading. Several second readings were scheduled for the next council cycle; the applicant for the Dory Energy exception and Cleveland Metroparks representatives were asked to provide clarifying documents for upcoming hearings.

Ending: All roll-call votes recorded during the meeting were unanimous; council adjourned after member remarks and community comments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Euclid OH, City Council Meeting 04/07/2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 7 meeting the Euclid City Council approved emergency interfund transfers, passed a senior transit van grant resolution, and adopted a number of first-reading zoning and road-vacation items for further review; votes on several housekeeping items were unanimous.","taxTitle","Euclid City Council, Euclid, Cuyahoga County, Ohio","taxId",72673,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6072685,"Euclid zoning exception for battery maker sent to second reading after safety questions",446,2839000,3285000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3009764-ad47b010b69a13c55fb591e3ca722b80&start=2839&end=3285","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3009764-ad47b010b69a13c55fb591e3ca722b80/thumbnail_2839000.jpg","/articles/6072685/Ohio/Euclid-zoning-exception-for-battery-maker-sent-to-second-reading-after-safety-questions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6072685-77d098cacd6bcfaf1ee01bc9b66ea9c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199474&Signature=TGKySpUoooOBsO4Z7qQyO4x7XM~i~rNjsYwyaCeN631ajIgzCC5MQ3OTKQ-Anlbqe2qYl-Ji2tiRAJ1hSEaKTH5q~lcr9C5s3TFfPeBjiiIVfKQauJILGIYHv3wNTV22kVAD39LCG1r1uUuRZCVUxG4ET35TSIx0oVV0rb5UUF~Cu0ivOI87rBuUrEPu6QDS15jbNCcjOq988DGtM~vqJe5WY93NSyS0qC9h5YLnd-qsy9~CS0UDf5fHMngiAs8sTSfKEkHoJQgl6KDslQKnjdatPW8b3vESTxcLXorMspWuaDEgI16yD8wxRlmcp15wSFchqR4le9tQzyTQabVpeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Euclid City Council advanced to a second reading a resolution that would grant a use-district exception to Dory Energy Inc. to establish a light-industrial facility for assembly and warehousing of portable battery generators at 1490 East 190th Street.

Administration staff said the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the application on March 11 and recommended approval. The commission and staff said the building — purchased from the county board of developmental disabilities — is roughly 46,000 square feet and the company expects about 10 employees initially, with room to expand. Staff said Dory Energy makes portable battery generators that use lithium-ion batteries and that the company has preorders.

Council discussion focused on hazardous-materials handling, outdoor storage limits, truck traffic and fire-code compliance. A council member asked whether the assembly process uses hazardous chemicals; staff answered that lithium-ion batteries are part of the process but the company owner was not present and more production details would be provided at later readings. The fire prevention bureau said it will work with the business to ensure compliance with the Ohio Fire Code and will review waste-handling plans. Staff confirmed that Planning & Zoning did not attach conditions to its approval and that outdoor storage is limited by code; the applicant indicated it plans indoor fabrication and does not anticipate a high volume of trucks.

Why it matters: The proposal would bring a manufacturing use into an existing commercial/industrial building, with potential local economic development and employment but also safety questions because lithium-ion batteries require specific storage and disposal safeguards.

Next steps: Council voted to send the measure to a second reading. Staff said the business owner will be asked to attend future hearings to provide details on the fabrication process, chemical use, and waste removal procedures.","Council sent to a second reading a resolution to grant a use-district exception to Dory Energy Inc. for a light-industrial battery assembly operation; staff said the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval, but council members asked about lithium-ion battery handling, hazardous-waste transport and fire-code compliance.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6072688,"Euclid proclaims April Fair Housing Month; city to offer tenant and landlord training",219,2240000,2459000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3009764-ad47b010b69a13c55fb591e3ca722b80&start=2240&end=2459","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3009764-ad47b010b69a13c55fb591e3ca722b80/thumbnail_2240000.jpg","/articles/6072688/Ohio/Euclid-proclaims-April-Fair-Housing-Month-city-to-offer-tenant-and-landlord-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6072688-40afc856391a0cef303443c2ed6be993/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199474&Signature=AuMDdKznlwVgWIy7Ppy7iVUS1k7yqyLBdtEEf0HYQ7~3QwGipfD83SUMl7wjGuQvpSaD~pvrizuMirCr5AFObYB593c3PxVkx9Sayhk4Aw8~d8YvQJvgisq~yBzQQWjF~bjR4h5gCtZ7kCzumfTHknJhnbzwfmlJjc4WvgjDXM4xdtAfYv4TM-i9iu8egpjmvtqRJO3R8krqEkcj2TUALMYj3vWNZyzKg3uQ1-g5~jtrTerfeav5c8G48kvCSW2jSf93bauDgucc6FmuYxZjRn8YX141tXUTFwZZ6gZFbjPzXw1NR7iXdyHsa7upv4~dmD1nsrx3P9YD886olyRChA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Euclid City Council on Monday passed a resolution proclaiming April 2025 as Fair Housing Month and reaffirming the city’s commitment to equal housing access. City staff described an outreach program of Know Your Rights events, landlord-tenant training and continued use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for accessibility work.

Community Development Manager Ed Chenock briefed council on federal and state fair-housing protections and local programs. He summarized the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 — enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development — as prohibiting discrimination in sale, rental and financing of dwellings on the basis of protected classes and described additional protections under Ohio law. Chenock said the city’s CDBG allocation, about $1,000,000 annually, underpins many of the local programs tied to housing opportunity.

Why it matters: Councilmembers and staff said the outreach and training aim to give tenants a clear path for reporting housing quality and landlord-tenant problems and to provide landlords with guidance on legal obligations and accessibility accommodations.

Details and follow-up: Chenock said the city and partners will hold a “Know Your Rights” fair-housing session on April 29 and landlord-tenant training planned for May or June. He said the community development division has historically offered accessibility work such as wheelchair ramps to qualifying homeowners through CDBG funds. City staff advised tenants to contact the Community Development office or the Fair Housing Center for Rights & Research, and noted the municipal court’s rent-and-escrow program as an additional tool.

Ending: Council members urged broad outreach to tenants and landlords, and the resolution passed unanimously.","Council adopted a resolution declaring April 2025 as Fair Housing Month and city staff outlined outreach, Know Your Rights events, landlord-tenant training, and continued use of Community Development Block Grant funds for accessibility.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6072693,"Euclid council approves settlement with school board over shared income tax",204,3324000,3528000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3009764-ad47b010b69a13c55fb591e3ca722b80&start=3324&end=3528","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3009764-ad47b010b69a13c55fb591e3ca722b80/thumbnail_3324000.jpg","/articles/6072693/Ohio/Euclid-council-approves-settlement-with-school-board-over-shared-income-tax","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6072693-6f0bf4a2fd1c513a589d04ffe9eb053d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199474&Signature=Soy7uy2r~6Rg1nhczn2uUHR-mIyJtJwKLJCpwUJuCrQ5uxomQ~FT1iY2osCJGnbrUuHvQgsnhPLMVVi8PKXoDfaNr1lo0l~ureMMvJApKICn79Xx7IrpdhltgXxdL3IxaIEuWOxW09dmIlky~svN2hO2VQ8vcFN2I6z91mvdclNV-8SgoAuvdTSlRGXlIty3u0aSgHjxC12tQtlq091xRUNT0VlQLIH4rjTPBUQDQUNJ7-g81032Ejg6-Cddk32J3nXNlgG0-2zIudWF9EEr0vDDTcfg7P~8eY2ghN6Ps~ZfMrr5S6eRttIzJ6HRk-52POThv1G1aTf3dGT5hqqTAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Euclid City Council voted Monday to approve an emergency ordinance authorizing the mayor to sign a settlement agreement resolving a lawsuit with the Euclid Board of Education over the interpretation of a shared-use agreement for municipal income tax revenue.

Under terms described at the meeting, 30% of income tax revenue for residents who receive a tax credit for working outside the city will be distributed to the Board of Education, with that calculation effective Jan. 1, 2025. The settlement also says no administrative fees will be charged to the Board of Education for the city’s expenses; the Board will pay 16.49% of the collection costs incurred by the collection agent, and the city will pay the remainder. The shared-use agreement that has been in effect since 1994 remains in place.

Why it matters: The settlement resolves years of litigation and negotiation over how Euclid’s municipal income tax is shared between the city and the school district. City officials said the agreement avoids larger revenue losses for both the city and schools that could result from continued litigation.

Details and discussion: City staff presented the settlement terms to council but did not read a full settlement text into the public record during the meeting. Council members said the agreement was reached after multiple executive-session discussions earlier in 2025. One council member characterized the outcome as a fair path forward for both parties while noting some residents have sought elimination of the dual tax in the past.

Process and next steps: The ordinance was taken up as an emergency measure and passed on the council floor by roll call. The mayor is authorized to execute the settlement agreement consistent with the terms summarized during the meeting.

Ending: Council members said the full, signed settlement agreement will be executed and implemented per the effective date listed in the ordinance. The council adjourned after closing other agenda items.","The council voted to authorize a settlement with the Euclid Board of Education resolving a long-running dispute over interpretation of a shared-use agreement for municipal income tax revenue; the settlement allocates 30% of certain tax revenue to the school district beginning Jan. 1, 2025.","actionData","errors"]
