Public commenters used the Solon City Council meeting to thank city staff for tree plantings, raise allegations circulating online about the mayor, and press council members on a pending winery proposal and the possibility that the parcel could later be used for a marijuana farm.

Utsa Chandra Bedi thanked the city and public-works staff for replanting six trees along SOM Center Road (Route 91) and said she will provide additional recommended planting locations to the city for future cycles. Her remarks were a public expression of appreciation for the city's urban-forestry work.

Melissa Solano raised social-media and internet "rumors" alleging the mayor was involved in two drunk-driving incidents and said she had filed a civil-rights complaint last year (she provided an internal report number). Councilmembers and staff responded that they had no knowledge of the allegations; no police report or other documentary evidence was presented at the meeting.

John Sunderek cited what he described as 45 "critical" health-code violations at the Michelangelo Winery's Richfield facility between February 2019 and April 2025, listing examples he said appeared in inspection reports (improper labeling, lack of certified manager on-site, hand-washing sinks out of specification, insect issues and storage of hazardous materials near food-preparation areas). Sunderek asked whether the city performs background checks on applicants requesting zoning changes and urged council to enact an ordinance to prohibit marijuana farms—as the city previously did for tattoo parlors—before any such application is filed.

City legal counsel Zalwin said on the record he would not support a marijuana farm in Solon and criticized what he called "scare tactics" circulating in the community; he also stated his support for Issue 33 (the winery-related ballot item) and encouraged residents in affected wards to vote. The mayor responded to the earlier allegations by saying that "facts matter, evidence matter" and that no police report had been produced to substantiate the claims said to be circulating online. Councilmembers reiterated that election day was the next day and encouraged residents to vote.

No formal council action (ordinance or moratorium) on marijuana farms was proposed or adopted during the meeting. The request by a commenter that the council move immediately to ban marijuana farms did not result in a motion or vote.
