Euclid Board of Control approves roughly $230,000 in requisitions for public safety, infrastructure and community programs

The Euclid Board of Control on Jan. 27 approved a series of requisitions totaling $229,603.78, including renewals for the city’s Blackboard/CodeRED emergency-notification system, contracting for sidewalk work and sewer engineering, purchase of forensic equipment for law enforcement and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) awards for local programs.

The approvals were routine voice votes with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. The items draw from multiple city funds, including the general fund, nuisance abatement fund, wastewater treatment fund, the law enforcement trust fund and prior-year CDBG funds.

The board approved an $8,900 requisition to Unsolved Intermediate Holdings from the general fund for the annual renewal of the Blackboard/CodeRED phone and email notification system. The board approved a $5,500 requisition to the Ohio Mayors Alliance from the general fund for the city’s 2025 annual membership renewal.

The board approved a $41,990.55 requisition to PM Graphics from the general fund for an “observer” mailing and printing to all Euclid households. A requisition to FP Allegra Concrete Construction for $11,814.25 from the nuisance abatement fund was approved for the city’s sidewalk program; the work covers both homeowner-identified repairs and sidewalk improvements selected by the Community Development Department.

A $15,000 requisition to Kelty Halter Griswold from the general fund was approved for economic development services along Euclid Avenue and other city projects. The board approved $80,040.98 to GPD Group charged to the wastewater treatment fund and the Peterson Trunk Line Fund for work on the Euclid sewer study (invoice number 79).

The board approved a $19,380 requisition to the Robesis Company from the wastewater treatment fund for SCADA system support services (drawdown). The board also approved a $10,550 requisition from the law enforcement trust fund to Burlak Burlakorp for equipment and training tied to a detective’s ability to examine onboard vehicle computers and connected devices. Captain Hauser described the purchase as addressing a backlog at federal labs and said, “So this is game changing, equipment.”

Using prior-year CDBG funds, the board approved $8,428 to Breadwinners Academy for youth financial-literacy programming under the city’s 2025 annual action plan and $28,000 to the Health Foundation for programming that supports residents with disabilities and related services.

Minutes from the Jan. 21 meeting were approved on a voice vote. The board also voted to excuse Councilman Wojtila; that motion was made by Director Cooney and seconded by Director Grogan Myers. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn by Director Stevens, seconded by Director Cooney.
