North Olmsted council adopts three resolutions, renews engineering contract and approves legal services agreement
Summary
The council adopted Resolutions 2025-96 and 2025-97 (both 6-0) and suspended rules to adopt Resolution 2025-103 (legal services agreement with Kutak Rock LLP, 6-0). Resolution 2025-102 (equipment purchase) was on second reading; Resolution 2025-104 was introduced on first reading.
The North Olmsted City Council approved several routine and time-sensitive measures at its Nov. 5 meeting, adopting three resolutions by unanimous recorded votes and advancing other items for further review.
On third reading, the council adopted Resolution 2025-96, which directs the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Officer to remit to North Olmsted in 2026 monies due to the city from county collection sources. Councilman Scarl moved the measure and Councilman Limpert seconded; roll call recorded six "Yes" votes and the resolution carried 6-0.
Council then adopted Resolution 2025-97, authorizing the Mayor to renew professional engineering services with Chagrin Valley Engineering through 2028 without a new RFP. The motion was made by Councilman Scarl, seconded by Councilman Limpert, and passed 6-0.
Mayor Dailey Jones introduced Resolution 2025-103, an agreement to retain Kutak Rock LLP for legal services on community and economic development projects, and requested suspension of the three-reading rule to permit immediate approval. Councilman Scarl moved to suspend the rules and to adopt the agreement; Councilman Limpert seconded both motions. After a roll-call vote with no members voting against, the council approved the suspension and adopted the resolution by a 6-0 margin.
Other business: Resolution 2025-102 (authorizing purchase and financing of a 2025 Polaris Ranger XP1000 from the Hotel Motel Fund) appeared on second reading; the Public Safety Committee had recommended it to Council by a 3-0 committee vote but the City Council did not take a final vote on Nov. 5. Resolution 2025-104, authorizing advertisement for bids to install a sanitary manhole with a Parshall flume measuring device on MacKenzie Road, was introduced on first reading and scheduled for committee review.
