Cleveland council approves year-end budget amendments and makes several board appointments
Summary
Council approved FY2025 year-end budget amendments, correcting a capital carryover for the civic-center AV system to $1,184,088, and approved multiple board appointments; parks board appointments carried 3–2 and several other appointments were tabled for resubmission.
Cleveland City Council on Dec. 9 approved year-end budget amendments for FY2025 and acted on multiple annual board appointments.
Pam Harrison presented the annual amendments, explaining that green-highlighted items affect fund balance and blue-highlighted items are transfers between departments that net to zero. She asked to correct the civic-center AV capital carryover amount to $1,184,088 so the capital line will include the full approved contract amount. Harrison also detailed fund-by-fund totals and noted restricted funds for the airport and other special accounts.
Council approved the year-end budget amendments unanimously. The amendments include capital carryovers, grant revenue recognition and departmental transfers consistent with auditor review and reporting.
On board and commission appointments, staff presented nominees for multiple bodies (airport advisory, board of adjustments, economic development, parks and recreation, TERS and others). Several items were tabled to allow resubmission of applications or to recruit additional nominees. Council approved three parks-and-recreation board nominees (Willie Carter, Regina Vollmer, Savannah Cunningham) by a 3–2 vote; other boards received nominees or were left on the January agenda to finalize appointments.
Staff will return with any additional appointment paperwork and will implement the budget amendments after audit reconciliation.
