Summary
Summary of formal actions taken March 17 by Cleveland Heights City Council, including appointments, grant application authorization, internship resolution and proclamations adopted on the consent agenda.
At its March 17 meeting, Cleveland Heights City Council approved a series of routine first- and second-reading resolutions and adopted a package of proclamations on the consent agenda. Key recorded actions include:
- Resolution 039-2025 (first reading): Appointed Marquietta Stevenson to the Fair Practices Board to fill the unexpired term ending 12/31/2025. Motion introduced by Council Member Cobb; adopted on first reading during the meeting.
- Resolution 040-2025 (first reading): Appointed Darius Smith, Aaron Miller Tate and Taylor Windham to the Citizens Advisory Committee. Motion introduced by Council Member Cobb; adopted on first reading.
- Resolution 041-2025 (first reading): Authorized the mayor to apply for grants under Ohio Department of Natural Resources Urban Forestry Grant Program and accept funding if awarded. Motion introduced by Mayor Kahlil Seren; adopted on first reading.
- Resolution 037-2025 (second reading): Authorized establishment of a high school internship program (introduced by Council President Kuda); the resolution advanced on second reading.
- Consent agenda: Council suspended the rules and adopted a set of proclamations and observances (resolutions 042-2025 through 047-2025), recognizing Fair Housing Month, National Library Week, National Poetry Month, Earth Month, National Autism Acceptance Month/World Autism Awareness Day, and National Community Development Week (Resolution 047-2025 introduced by Mayor Seren).
All items on the consent agenda were moved, seconded, and adopted after council voted to suspend the rules. Several of the appointment resolutions and the urban forestry grant application resolution were adopted on first reading following motion and second.
Ending: These adopted resolutions and appointments were routine actions intended to fill advisory positions and align the city with statewide grant opportunities and national observances. More substantive legislative matters (including the Park Synagogue rezoning and the final appropriations ordinance) were addressed elsewhere on the agenda.
