The council voted to adopt Ordinance 20 25 62 authorizing a new collective-bargaining agreement between the city and the Fraternal Order of Police Parma Lodge 15 (sergeants and lieutenants unit) through Dec. 31, 2027. The motion to suspend the rules and adopt the ordinance passed on recorded roll call with the following votes recorded: Ms. Roff — yes; Mr. Spring — yes; Mr. Short — yes; Mr. Carbone — yes; Mr. Kaminski — yes; Ms. Kozak — yes; Mr. Clark — yes; Ms. Roth — yes.

Ernfeldt Recreation and Senior Center; and Ordinance 20 25 88, authorizing a grant agreement with the Ohio Department of Development for the Fultz Parkway extension Phase 2 project. Both measures were moved under suspension of the rules and adopted after roll-call votes; the record shows unanimous approval for each adopted ordinance.
