Seven Hills council repeals department petty‑cash sections and approves $1.30 million pavement contract
Summary
Council passed a set of amended ordinances repealing petty‑cash sections across multiple departments as emergency measures and authorized a contract not to exceed $1,301,560.75 with Specialized Construction Inc. for the city's 2025 pavement rehabilitation and asphalt overlay program.
The Seven Hills City Council on April 29 approved a package of amended ordinances that repeal petty‑cash sections from multiple department chapters of the city codified ordinances and declared those measures emergency actions. Council also approved Ordinance 30‑2025, authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with Specialized Construction Incorporated (Cuyahoga Heights) and appropriating an amount not to exceed $1,301,560.75 for the 2025 concrete pavement rehabilitation and asphalt overlay program.
Council acted under motions to suspend the reading rules and to approve emergency clauses. Council members voted in favor of the amended ordinances (amended ordinances nos. 24‑2025, 25‑2025, 26‑2025, 27‑2025 and 28‑2025) and later approved the Specialized Construction contract as an emergency measure. The contract amount and the emergency clause were read and approved in successive roll‑call votes.
Council discussion on these items was procedural in nature; the city engineered contract was presented by title and appropriation amount and received three motions (suspend rules, approve emergency clause, adopt as emergency) with roll calls recorded. The ordinance text repealed petty‑cash provisions in chapters governing council, the mayor's office, the department of law, fire and public service and properties.
The pavement contract ordinance (30‑2025) states the mayor is authorized to enter into an agreement with Specialized Construction Incorporated and appropriates up to $1,301,560.75 for the 2025 concrete pavement rehabilitation and asphalt overlay program. Council passed the ordinance on the first and final reading under suspension of the rules, and the emergency clause passed by roll call.
No further debate was recorded on the technical specifics of the pavement contract during the meeting; council members indicated departmental reports and engineer estimates were on file with the clerk.
