Lena Workman of Cuyahoga DD told the Solon City Council the county board supports people with developmental disabilities from birth through adulthood and helps them "learn, live, work, and play in the community." Workman said about two-thirds of Cuyahoga DD's approximately $150,000,000 budget is funded by a continuous 3.9-mill levy that was last approved by Cuyahoga County voters in 2005.

Workman said Cuyahoga DD served 247 people in Solon last year and roughly 15,000 people countywide, a 20% increase in people served compared with 2005. She described services that levy funding supports, including early intervention, occupational and physical therapies, speech-language pathology, consultative school services, young-adult transition services, housing and employment assistance, and assistive-technology services.

She also summarized the agency's community grants program, saying nearly $1,000,000 in grants since 2021 supported more than 50 libraries, arts-and-culture and recreation organizations to make programs and physical spaces accessible. Workman said the agency awarded $180,000 in community grants in 2025 and cited Solon Rec Center as a past grant recipient ($15,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024). She offered to meet with city staff to explore further local partnerships.
