North Royalton council adopts several ordinances, accepts $700,000 for Memorial Park pavilion
Summary
At its June 16 meeting the North Royalton City Council unanimously adopted multiple emergency ordinances and resolutions — including a $700,000 state award for a new all‑season pavilion at Memorial Park — and approved budget and insurance actions. Council recorded six Yeas, none opposed, one excused on each adopted item.
North Royalton — The City Council on June 16 adopted several ordinances and resolutions and accepted $700,000 in state funds to support a new all‑season pavilion at Memorial Park.
Mayor Paul F. Marnecheck told the council that Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 450, which allocates $700,000 through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources toward construction of a pavilion to replace the lower pavilion near the Memorial Park pond. The mayor said the project was originally estimated at $1.3 million and the city will seek supplemental funding, including from Cuyahoga County. "These funds are highly competitive," Marnecheck said, and he thanked Senator Thomas Patton and Representative Michael Dovilla for their assistance.
Council moved quickly through the evening’s business, suspending rules where noted and voting unanimously in favor of a series of emergency measures with one councilmember excused. Among the approvals were Ordinance 26‑76, establishing salaries for the president of council and members of council; Ordinance 26‑107, authorizing a preliminary agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for installation of sidewalk along the east side of State Road (SR 94) between Wallings Road and Lisa Lane; Ordinance 26‑109, amending the 2026 appropriation ordinance by transferring and making additional appropriations; Ordinance 26‑110, authorizing acceptance of insurance proposals for property, casualty, liability and cyber insurance in a sum not to exceed $382,485; and Resolution 26‑111, ratifying landscaping improvement services for city‑owned properties in 2026.
Each adopted measure was approved on roll call with the same recorded outcome: Yeas — Gorjanc, Coleman, Petrusky, Quolke, Green, Cyngier; Nays — none; Excused — Wojslaw.
In other operational items noted in the mayor’s report, Marnecheck said the administration will meet soon with Broadview Heights about the condition of Sprague Road, and that staff will review soil‑testing results for a proposed salt barn with the Economic Development Director, Service Director, and city engineers. He also reported that temporary electrical work knocked out lights at a Memorial Park baseball field but repairs were scheduled before the next scheduled game.
The council adjourned at 10:16 p.m. The council’s next regularly scheduled session and committee meeting dates are posted with the Council Office.
