On March 16 the council adopted amended Ordinances 26-12 and 26-13 (right-of-way dedication and street vacation), Ordinance 26-14 (NOPEC grant acceptance), and Ordinance 26-15 (agreement with Cuyahoga County DPW); Resolution 26-05 about community energy pilots was placed on first reading and referred to committee.
Fairview Park City Council unanimously approved four ordinances on March 16 and assigned a resolution to committee.
Council amended and passed Ordinance 26‑12, accepting the dedication of a 30‑foot public right‑of‑way along portions of W. 220th Street and Mastic Road; after an amendment to replace the word “easement” with a permanent dedication and to update Exhibit A, the measure passed on a unanimous roll call.
Council also amended and passed Ordinance 26‑13, vacating specified sections of W. 228th and W. 229th streets south of Interstate 480, with updated directional language and an attached street vacation map as Exhibit A. Council members noted the city would lose roughly 10 buildable parcels but did not intend to develop them.
Ordinance 26‑14 was adopted to accept the 2026 Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) energized community grant to support energy efficiency and infrastructure improvements; the ordinance authorizes the city administration to file and execute documents necessary to receive awarded funds. Ordinance 26‑15 authorizes the mayor and service director to enter an agreement with the Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works for core and additional services; it passed without discussion.
Resolution 26‑05, sponsored by Councilwoman Nann and cosponsored by Council members Lang, Minnick and Railey, calling on the Ohio legislature to allow community energy pilot programs, was placed on first reading and assigned to the environment/public works committee.
Roll‑call outcomes (as read at the meeting): Ordinances 26‑12, 26‑13, 26‑14 and 26‑15 passed with unanimous yes votes from the council members present. Several measures were returned to the appropriate committees for additional review or subsequent readings where noted.
Council indicated it will continue committee review of matters that remain on second reading, including Ordinance 26‑17 (sewer services contract) and Ordinance 26‑18 (property purchase at 22100 Mastic Road).
