The Seven Hills City Council met in a regularly scheduled session and passed a package of emergency measures by unanimous roll call, approving city budget adjustments, a managed IT services agreement and an intercity services contract before adjourning at 6:29 p.m.

Council approved Amended Ordinance 52-20-25 to adjust the compensation range for the part-time deputy finance director and declared it an emergency. Council also passed Amended Ordinance 55-20-25, making appropriations for city expenses for the year ending Dec. 31, 2026, as an emergency measure.

A significant item approved by the council was Amended Ordinance 58-20-25, which authorizes the mayor to enter a three-year managed services agreement with Blue Technologies Smart Solutions to provide citywide managed IT services and support. The ordinance appropriates “an amount not to exceed $267,444” for the service and declares the matter an emergency; the ordinance was approved by roll call. The ordinance text in the meeting states the appropriation as written and does not specify whether the figure is annual, total, or per-term; the transcript records the appropriation language only as “not to exceed $267,444 per said service.”

Council Pro Tem Castanzo introduced and the council passed Ordinance 59-20-25, authorizing an agreement between the City of Seven Hills and the City of Parma for prison or housing services, declared an emergency and adopted by roll call.

The council amended appropriations for the year ending Dec. 31, 2025 and passed Ordinance 60-20-25 as an emergency measure. Members also adopted Resolution 18-20-25 to provide for transfers on an as-needed basis and declared that resolution an emergency.

Director of Finance Frank, whose report was filed with the clerk, remarked on the year in office: “2025 flew by as our first official year with our regime. I want to thank everybody for the amazing support.” Councilman Morrow highlighted capital progress, noting Rockside Road has broken ground and that the council has been able to allocate general funds for future planning.
