Committee signs off on payment‑methods code change, harbor management, HVAC and training renewals
Summary
Committee approved several departmental requests: an update to payment methods in the code (Ordinance 180‑2026), a one‑year renewal with Downtown Cleveland Alliance for North Coast Harbor maintenance and programming (Ordinance 93‑2026), an HVAC renewal for Port Control facilities (Ordinance 94‑2026), and a management training consultant engagement (Ordinance 29‑2026).
The committee approved a set of routine departmental items during the March 9 session.
Ordinance 180‑2026 (amendment to Codified Ordinances Section 127.4343) was approved to expand acceptable payment methods beyond credit cards to include mobile pay, digital wallets, e‑checks and contactless methods; the director said security will be prioritized and systems will be reviewed with IT before vendor selection.
Ordinance 93‑2026 authorized the first one‑year renewal of a contract with Downtown Cleveland Alliance (DCA) to manage and program City‑owned common areas at North Coast Harbor. DCA will continue maintenance, property management, security, marketing and event programming under a renewal contract of roughly $470,000 funded by CAM member contributions and harbor parking revenue.
Ordinance 94‑2026 approved the first renewal option for an HVAC services contract (Air Force One, Inc.) to maintain heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems at Hopkins and Burke airports; port staff said equipment is aging and the contractor’s services have been satisfactory.
Ordinance 29‑2026 authorized up to $900,000 to contract with consultants to design and implement a comprehensive citywide management training program following an organizational training needs assessment and focused performance‑management training already underway.
All items were advanced to the full council for final action; committee members asked for standard vendor/security briefings for the payment‑methods change and for implementation details on the training program.
