Council approves emergency budget amendment, adopts county solid waste plan and authorizes bids for street work
Summary
On June 4 University Heights City Council approved an emergency appropriation amendment for 2025, adopted the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management Plan, and authorized advertising bids for the 2025 pavement marking and street programs; Council also approved a resolution honoring Finance Director Dennis Kennedy.
University Heights City Council on June 4 approved several administrative and procurement actions: it passed an emergency appropriation ordinance to adjust 2025 permanent appropriations, adopted the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management Plan as required for EPA compliance, and authorized the advertisement of bids for the 2025 pavement marking and street programs.
Finance Director Dennis Kennedy reviewed the appropriation amendment as the third such amendment this year, intended to carry necessary budgeted expenditures through the end of 2025. Council moved to suspend the rules and approve Ordinance 2025-25 as an emergency measure; the motion passed on roll call.
Assistant Service Director Chuck Stemily read a memo regarding the county-wide plan; Council approved Resolution 2025-26 adopting the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management Plan, which the county requires from member communities to avoid EPA intervention.
City Engineer Brenda Mockbee said bids for the 2025 Pavement Marking Program and the 2025 Street Program will be advertised for two consecutive weeks, with bid openings scheduled for June 13 and results presented to Council on June 16 for award. Council approved motions to seek bids for both projects.
Council also unanimously approved Resolution 2025-28, a joint proclamation recognizing the service of Finance Director Dennis G. Kennedy. The meeting record lists roll-call approvals for these items.
Next steps: Implementation tasks include processing the approved appropriation changes, scheduling committee review and contract-award actions following bid openings, and integrating the county solid waste plan requirements into city operations.
