Finance committee agrees to send amended $13.6 million capital package to council for second reading
Summary
Cleveland Heights finance committee members agreed to send an amended appropriations ordinance that adds roughly $13.6 million in capital items to council for a second reading, and set a timeline for department-level briefings and line-item explanations.
At a Cleveland Heights Finance Committee meeting, Chair Gail Larson and committee members agreed to send an amended version of Appropriations Ordinance 011-2025 — which adds roughly $13.6 million in capital requests — back to full council for a second reading so it can be added to the Feb. 18 council agenda.
The package combines $4.4 million already in the introduced budget with about $9.2 million in additional capital requests that the administration proposed this month. The administration indicated the new items would be added to the ordinance by amending the ordinance exhibits; finance staff said most of the additional cash would be funded from special funds rather than the general fund. Assistant Director Phelps described the spreadsheet the administration provided as “the administration’s capital request for 2025. This is what we are going to be pursuing in 2025.”
