Council was told the change aligns with the $32,000 already allocated in the 2025 budget for network modernization and that the new agreement would cost approximately $31,388 per year. The administration described the shift as intended to \"enhance our network's reliability, security, and long term manageability.\" The resolution (2025-24) was passed after council voted to suspend rules and approve.

During discussion, Councilman Miner asked whether DataServe would act as the city's technology auditor or whether the city would retain a third party for testing. The response from city staff and the mayor indicated DataServe currently performs auditing tasks and there is not a separate third-party auditor in place. Councilman Bauscher asked about payment terms; the mayor replied, \"It's monthly.\" Members noted DataServe has modified the contract previously and is conducting additional security reviews following a prior incident involving the police department's systems.

Council authorized the agreement and approved moving the contract into the NAAS model under the existing budget allocation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Council Meeting - 3/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council authorized a new network-as-a-service (NAAS) agreement with DataServe Integrations LLC at roughly $31,388 per year, funded from 2025 budget allocations, to modernize city IT and improve security following prior incidents.","taxTitle","Mayfield Heights City Council, Mayfield Heights, Cuyahoga County, Ohio","taxId",71194,"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},6062771,"Mayfield Heights OKs purchase of pickup and skid steer for service department",150,4228000,4378000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3275683-b1e83bc5bd3b518588afe05a6f1130ea&start=4228&end=4378","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3275683-b1e83bc5bd3b518588afe05a6f1130ea/thumbnail_4228000.jpg","/articles/6062771/Ohio/Mayfield-Heights-OKs-purchase-of-pickup-and-skid-steer-for-service-department","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062771-949f34a4d1b3b6aaf16a44d900c6568c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175913&Signature=hAA~270RyI~-pfRv-TV50GGzdh4txeb4APA2MBLTJw0kJUvYHC-iqdlQmROkhphlixAOQQ9zQSNuK4EEjT0UNayCt96ykbxl-6kdv969C1DjaUaBCOC89DjbKxQPwMkXJvc-eWcCDL~PJCgj1wgVQsw880X5xsXgrg98yFbyNX2FiCoBrwjXgJ-C389h~Bp1QOQT5sOEOkScK9UqBZvn1C80onga0k9iT9eDPYTR4mn94wJre82Ga35O8X-a-Rlu6cN4BdhB6NQM3-qo4pTOIJRHD55TUBqF6ydbKGjioUrbP466QbvVB6VTcHthfGfeNAROa7mzMq3AEnBAUCckrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mayfield Heights City Council on May 12 approved two emergency resolutions to replace aging equipment in the service department: a Ford F-250 pickup truck and a Bobcat skid steer.

Mister Schmidlin read Resolution 2025-21 authorizing the mayor to contract with Classic Ford to buy a new Ford F-250 for the service department. The council suspended the rules and approved the purchase under the state contract price of $54,522. Schmidlin told council the truck \"was approved in 2025 service department's budget\" and said the replacement will allow sale of retired vehicles on GovDeals when the new units arrive. The presentation stated the current pickup \"has served the department for the past, 46 years.\"

Council also approved Resolution 2025-22 to purchase a new Bobcat skid steer from Bobcat of Akron under a Sourcewell contract. Council members were told the machine will replace a 2005 unit (about 20 years old), will include a new snow pusher box and is funded from the city's 401 Road Equipment Fund.

Both purchases passed by roll-call votes after motions to suspend rules and approve were made. Council cited the equipment's age and the service department's operational needs, including winter snow removal capabilities for the skid steer.","Council approved emergency resolutions to buy a Ford F-250 pickup under state contract and a Bobcat skid steer under Sourcewell, citing equipment age and budgeted funds.",{"_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},6062775,"Mayfield Heights council extends CRA exemption term for corporate park to 10 years",1928,3200000,5128000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3275683-b1e83bc5bd3b518588afe05a6f1130ea&start=3200&end=5128","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3275683-b1e83bc5bd3b518588afe05a6f1130ea/thumbnail_3200000.jpg","/articles/6062775/Ohio/Mayfield-Heights-council-extends-CRA-exemption-term-for-corporate-park-to-10-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062775-18b16cb7cdec9751d72e48368634b01d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175913&Signature=gmBlim6fFCslCRG3YiuKrhg6ItHR3YSUb8VqtywLrg8JACYI7WU4~wZuns1~YdkODxSryZUgyXp~4m8eM8SvqNziS0SOVvvgj5i~Obm5azXvlTiY0xSVGtl3CNnuouZUu8G2IAwdXvrgAmAevcp6b0~VozptdKiM6fqLq1v1VWSTR7MuNGg5ohfVChgr-E7EXy5OM1QC9yLdlu9EqIlfNl-j3IbKwhNediPeIrlUpceIOGBm2Pjt79c50W9X7CrPSyKFr0wz0kCf5LicW82D~olsQMfPJp4AJoHhnRQZ39FxAtEABy2DkHJdU7WtftnYKTz5vaMQZN0wOjbnx0lrJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mayfield Heights City Council voted May 12 to amend the city's 1993 Community Reinvestment Area (CRA), increasing the tax-exemption term for certain multifamily and commercial rehabilitation projects from five years to 10 years.

City staff said the change is intended to make rehabilitated office and commercial space in the corporate park more attractive to tenants and developers, especially with recent building sales and potential renovations in the Landerbrook corporate area.

Mister Rowan, a department head who presented the ordinance, said, \"the city passed a community reinvestment area back in 1993\" and explained the CRA covers much of the corporate park \"from North Of Cedar up to 271.\" He outlined technical differences between pre-1994 and post-1994 CRA designations under the Ohio Revised Code and said the city, as a pre-1994 CRA, can amend the geographic map and the exemption term. \"The purpose of this legislation is to revise the term for the 3 family and the commercial rehab from 5 years. I put 10,\" Rowan said, noting council could choose up to the state-allowed maximum of 12 years.

Rowan provided examples of scale to show how property taxes change when buildings go on the tax rolls: Parker Hannifin's tax payments rose from about $185,000 in 2012 to $656,000 in 2013 after construction; Rockwell Automation rose from about $350,000 in 2010 to $1.46 million in 2011; Landerbrook Dental moved from roughly $23,000 to $165,000 between 2022 and 2023. He also noted the recently completed Apex Skin building begins its CRA reporting in 2026 (tax year 2025 collection). Rowan said the CRA applies to reinvestments of at least $5,000.

Council discussed whether to choose a 10- or 12-year term; Rowan said the administration proposed 10 because it commonly aligns with lease lengths but that 12 would be allowable. Council voted to approve the ordinance (Ordinance 2025-20) after prior committee discussion and review of Rowan's memo.

Council members and staff emphasized the amendment targets the corporate park area and is not a citywide expansion of CRA benefits. Rowan said he does not recommend expanding the CRA area at this time, citing a robust residential market and typical practice that CRAs are not applied to retail in stable markets.

The amendment passed on the council's vote and will take effect as prescribed in the ordinance.","Council approved amending the city's 1993 Community Reinvestment Area to increase tax-exemption terms for certain commercial and multifamily rehabilitation projects from five years to 10 years, citing aims to attract rehabilitation and leasing in the corporate park.","actionData","errors"]
