Summary
Council approved a memorandum of understanding allowing the Medina Metropolitan Housing Authority to have the city act as the responsible entity for an environmental review tied to a Lafayette Road multifamily project; council adopted an emergency clause to meet grant timelines.
Medina City Council on July 14 authorized the mayor to enter a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Medina Metropolitan Housing Authority (MMHA) enabling the city to act as the responsible entity for the environmental review required for MMHA’s Lafayette multifamily project at 881 Lafayette Road. The council adopted the ordinance and an emergency clause by unanimous vote (7-0).

City staff said the emergency clause was requested to meet grant-related timelines.
The ordinance (01/27/25) authorizes the mayor to execute the MOU, subject to final review and approval by the law director.
