Summary
The Board of Control on Jan. 20 approved a series of purchase orders and requisitions totaling about $598,000, most notably a $297,500 payment to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff for prisoner housing and a $41,990.55 payment to PM Graphics to produce the Euclid Observer. All items passed by voice vote.
The Board of Control approved a slate of purchase orders and requisitions at its Jan. 20 meeting, including a $297,500 payment to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office to house prisoners and a $41,990.55 contract to PM Graphics for printing and mailing the Euclid Observer.
The meeting opened with roll call and routine business. After approving minutes from Dec. 15 and excusing Councilman Tolton, the board moved to consider requisitions across departments. Staff presented vendor, fund source and purpose for each item before the board voted on each request by voice.
Major items approved included three separate payments to GPD Group for sewer-related work and studies totaling $124,663.60 ($39,048.41 for a sewer study, $33,019.22 for combined sewer overflow control work and $52,595.97 for 2025 year-end sewer project work); a $21,098 payment to Lexipol LLC for police policy-and-procedure services; and a $9,300 payment to Cellebrite Inc. for a forensic data-extraction tool. Captain Hauser described the TAC Computer payment of $9,391.32 as "for our computer aided dispatch maintenance and online hosting, for 2026."
Clerk of Courts Mitch Perousek explained judicial-department items: an $8,537 purchase order to Innovare Solutions LLC for annual case-management licensing and website hosting and an $8,620 payment to Ohio AMS LLC covering December 2025 invoices that exceeded the board's $5,000 threshold.
The mayor described a $6,872 payment to AOMWA as membership support for an advocacy organization that tracks water-treatment legislation and policy. A $9,523 payment to Unsolved Intermediate Holding Company was presented for the Code Red emergency notification system used for robocalls and texts; the mayor noted he did not order a recent Code Red alert when that question arose.
Nearly every item was moved, seconded and approved by voice with no recorded dissents. For several items (for example the Chagrin Valley dispatch requisition) the transcript records an invoice or reference number but does not state the dollar amount.
The board adjourned after completing the requisitions and other routine items. The meeting record does not show any votes failing or motions tabled; most approvals were routine departmental drawdowns or payment authorizations.
