Cleveland City Council approves 2025 operating appropriations ordinance
Summary
The council passed Ordinance 1 56 2025, the city’s 2025 operating appropriations, on a 15-0 roll call after third reading.
Cleveland City Council on March 10, 2025, passed Ordinance 1 56 2025, a third-reading emergency ordinance that makes appropriations and provides current expenses for the daily operation of municipal departments for the 2025 fiscal year, by a roll-call vote of 15 yeas and no nays.
The ordinance, introduced as Ordinance 1 56 20 25 and amended by Councilmember Blaine A. Griffin, authorizes appropriations for municipal departments from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2025. The measure was read on third reading and placed on final passage; the roll call on passage recorded 15 yeas (Griffin, Bishop, Conwell, Gray, Hairston, Harsh, House Jones, Jones, KZ, Kelly, Moore, McCormack, Polencic, Santana, Slife, Spencer, Star — as read in the record).
Council conducted no extended debate on the chamber floor during the reading and immediate vote. The ordinance follows standard appropriation procedure: departmental requests were bundled into the single emergency ordinance for the fiscal year. No amendments or provisos beyond the amendment noted by Councilmember Griffin were recorded in the transcript.
The council adjourned to its next regular meeting on March 24, 2025.
