The Euclid Board of Control on Monday approved seven requisitions covering an information-technology refresh, vehicle upfitting and several Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects totaling approximately $159,237.37.
The vote cleared purchases and contracts from the general fund and the CDBG fund. Director Stevens moved to excuse Councilman Gresham at the start of the meeting; Director Smith seconded the motion, and it passed by voice vote.
The most consequential items were IT purchases intended to address an impending end of support for Microsoft Windows 10. Mr. Prusick, a staff member presenting the IT request, told the board that “support for Windows 10 is ending on 10/14/2025,” and that the city plans to replace one-third of its computers now and spread remaining replacements over three years to keep systems on a “PC refresh cycle.” The board approved two DataServe Integrations requisitions: $21,568.37 from the general fund for new computer hardware and $7,296 from the general fund for upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
Board members also approved operational and capital items. Assistant Director Sage presented a $6,345 requisition to Best Truck Equipment to upfit a new van for the building-maintenance crew; the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
Multiple CDBG-funded projects were approved for 2025. Director Grogan Myers described a $12,000 contract with Mullen Brothers Construction as “the third round of the CDBG exterior paint project” to paint two homes; the board approved that contract. The board also approved a $63,000 contract with FP Allegra Concrete Construction Corp. for the sidewalk replacement program, which Grogan Myers said will replace 18 ADA curb ramps and install RTA bus stop pads. A $34,178 CDBG requisition to Home Corp of Ohio will re-side one home on Lakeshore Boulevard as part of the 2025 residential siding program. The board approved a $14,850 payment to Safe Built Ohio for services of the chief building official for August.
All requisitions were introduced during the requisitions section of the agenda, discussed briefly by presenting staff, and approved by voice vote with recorded “Aye” responses. The meeting concluded with a motion by Director Stevens and a second from Director Smith to adjourn.
The board did not set detailed implementation timelines during the meeting; presenters noted schedule intent (for example, a three-year PC refresh) but did not provide specific procurement or installation dates for each contract. Funding sources cited in the meeting were the general fund and the Community Development Block Grant fund.
