Landbank accepts six parcels from Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity
Summary
The board adopted Resolution No. 2026-12 to accept six parcels donated by Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity (five in Lorain, one in Sheffield Village); minutes record the motion as carried but include an inconsistent vote notation for Mayor Bradley (see audit).
Commissioner Marty Gallagher told the board that Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity offered six parcels to the landbank — five in Lorain and one landlocked parcel in Sheffield Village — and the board moved to accept those donations.
The text of Resolution No. 2026-12 (read into the minutes) lists the parcel numbers and locations. Commissioner David J. Moore moved to adopt the resolution and Mayor Jack Bradley seconded. The minutes record the motion as carried. The roll-call notation in the minutes lists Moore, Bradley and Gallagher as ayes but also lists Bradley under abstentions; the membership record in the minutes is internally inconsistent on Bradley's vote. Staff and commissioners did not record further conditions on the transfers during the meeting.
Board members discussed one Sheffield Village parcel being landlocked and noted that one parcel is not contiguous with the others. Staff will finalize transfer documentation with Habitat and address any title or access issues before recording the parcels into the landbank.
