Council approves $400,000 ODNR grant for Chagrin Falls multipurpose trail
Summary
The Solon City Council approved Ordinance 2026-19 authorizing a $400,000 pass-through grant from the State of Ohio/ODNR for the Chagrin Falls multipurpose trail under emergency procedures; the motion passed after roll call.
The Solon City Council on Feb. 2 approved Ordinance 2026-19, authorizing the mayor to enter into a capital improvement pass-through grant agreement with the State of Ohio and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for the Chagrin Falls multipurpose trail in the amount of $400,000.
Councilmember Mister Lobster moved for approval "authorizing the mayor to enter into the ... agreement in the amount of $400,000 between the State of Ohio and ODNR and the City of Solon," and Mister Zowen seconded. The ordinance was considered under suspension of rules and recorded as having final passage after a roll call vote.
The measure was described to council as an administrative item to authorize the mayor to accept ODNR funds for the Chagrin Falls multipurpose trail and to declare an emergency so that the city would not delay receipt of the funds.
No amendments or conditions were recorded in the transcript. The action advances the city’s stated trail and connectivity plans; council members referenced ongoing local projects tied to redevelopment and multiuse path connectivity during the meeting.
Next step: the mayor’s office will execute the grant agreement as authorized by the ordinance.
