Council approves emergency amendment to Parma prisoner-housing agreement
Summary
Seven Hills City Council voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 18-2025 as an emergency measure, amending the existing prisoner housing agreement with Parma and adding the city as an additional insured under the contract.
Seven Hills City Council voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 18-2025 as an emergency measure, amending the city’s existing prisoner-housing agreement with Parma and adding the City of Seven Hills as an additional insured under the policy.
The measure, described by council as an amendment to Ordinance 48-2024 (passed Oct. 29, 2024), changes terms in the existing agreement with the City of Parma for prisoner housing services. Council members approved both the emergency clause and final passage in separate roll-call votes; the ordinance was read by title and declared an emergency before passage.
Council Pro Tem Castanzo moved to approve the emergency clause and later moved to pass the ordinance as an emergency. The roll-call results recorded all voting members as "Yes." The ordinance text, as read into the record, directs the mayor to enter into the amended agreement between the City of Seven Hills and Parma and adds the city as an additional insurer to the policy.
The council did not include additional details in the public reading regarding the financial terms of the amendment, the duration of the amended agreement, or whether changes alter the number of inmates housed; those specifics were not specified in the meeting record.
The ordinance will take effect immediately under the city’s emergency clause.
