The Solon City Council on March 2 approved its consent agenda, clearing multiple infrastructure and environmental items including a $1,744,940.97 bid for Aurora Road resurfacing and a $155,391 contract for solar-panel engineering and construction management at Grant Wood Golf Course.
Council President Nancy opened the meeting and the council moved to adopt the consent agenda under suspension of the rules. Council members voted in favor and the measures received final passage.
Key items approved included: Ordinance 2026-43, which accepts Burgess and Niple’s proposal for engineering design services for Aurora Road resurfacing (Solon Road to Richmond Road) in the amount of $149,900; Ordinance 2026-44, which accepts Roniak Paving’s bid for the Aurora Road resurfacing project in the amount of $1,744,940.97; Ordinance 2026-45, accepting Aeromark Company LLC as the lowest and best bidder for the 2026 annual street striping program at $353,450; and Ordinance 2026-46, authorizing a contract with 21c LLC (doing business as Compass Energy Platform) for engineering and construction management services for solar-panel installation at Grant Wood Golf Course for $155,391.
The agenda also included stormwater-related items: Ordinance 2026-40 authorizes the mayor to enter a five-year memorandum of understanding with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and the Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation District to provide education, stewardship and public involvement under the city’s stormwater master plan; and Ordinance 2026-41 amends Chapter 12.57 of the Solon Planning and Zoning Code to update stormwater performance standards for compliance with Ohio EPA/NPDES requirements. Planning and engineering memos dated 02/18/2026 and 02/19/2026 were cited as conditions for a related zoning variance earlier on the agenda.
Council members who spoke described the items as routine steps to advance projects this construction season. One council member said the engineering acceptance would allow the city to “get this mini split started before it gets too hot,” referring to timely installation of mechanical equipment described in a separate planning item.
All consent items were approved by roll call vote and declared final.
The council adjourned after routine comments and announcements. Next steps for the major capital projects include final contract execution and project scheduling by the appropriate city departments and contractors.
