Euclid council clears water-line project for bidding, refers jail contract to committee and approves PIPE agreement
Loading...
Summary
Council authorized advertising and bidding for water-line replacement on East 217th and Coulter Avenue, voted to send a proposed county jail housing agreement to the Executive and Finance Committee for further review, and approved a five-year PIPE memorandum with Cuyahoga Soil and Water and the regional sewer district for stormwater education and technical assistance.
Council approved several infrastructure and intergovernmental items on Monday.
The council unanimously approved an emergency ordinance authorizing the director of public service to advertise for bids and enter into a contract to replace water lines on East 217th (from Lakeshore Boulevard north to Edgecliff) and Coulter Avenue (East 222 to its dead end) under the City of Cleveland—s suburban water main renewal program. "This would include water line replacement, hydrant replacement, and then the paving of the roads for the residents," the assistant director said, and staff said the work aims to be completed and paved by November depending on contractor schedules.
On a separate item, administration presented a first reading of an emergency ordinance to enter a new agreement with Cuyahoga County for the care and housing of Euclid—s charged prisoners through Dec. 31, 2027. Administration said the previous contract expired Dec. 31, 2025, and that several contract-change questions remain; council voted to refer the ordinance to the Executive and Finance Committee so representatives of the county can brief council and outstanding issues can be addressed.
Council also approved an emergency ordinance authorizing a memorandum of understanding with the Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation District and the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District for the PIPE (Public Involvement and Public Education) program from 2026 through 2031 to provide technical assistance and educational services aimed at reducing stormwater pollution.
Each measure passed after discussion; the water-line and PIPE ordinances were approved as emergency ordinances so work and program activities can proceed without a 30-day waiting period.
