Cleveland (Oct. 17, 2022) – City Council held its regular Monday meeting tonight, both in person in Council Chambers and through live streaming. The next regular meeting will be Monday Oct. 24th. Please note there will not be a council meeting on Monday, Oct. 31st. Here are tonight’s highlights:
Cleveland Police to Receive Surplus Department of Defense Property: Council approved the Director of Public Safety to enter into an agreement with the State of Ohio to participate in the State Plan of Operation to receive excess United States Department of Defense property to be used by the Division of Police in their law enforcement actions.
The intent of the Cleveland Division of Police to participate in this program would be to obtain equipment and supplies that would be comparable to that used in current operations that may be available at a significant cost savings versus purchasing these items from our General Fund budget. The Cleveland Division of Police does not intend to request weaponized items or heavy motorized equipment through this program. Ord. No. 857-2022
Introduced:
New Corporate Hangar for Sherwin-Williams: Legislation was introduced for Sherwin-Williams to lease approximately 5.8 acres of City-owned land within the West Campus-Corporate Aviation Area of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport for a new corporate hangar facility. Sherwin-Williams would design, construct and operate this hangar, on West Hangar Road, for not less than 30 years.
Sherwin-Williams will assume all costs associated with designing, permitting, and constructing the corporate
hangar facility, including the installation and enhancement of utility lines/service, ramps and taxiways within the boundaries of the leased area. This legislation will go to Directors of Port Control, City Planning Commission, Finance and Law before coming before the Council Committees Transportation & Mobility and Finance Diversity Equity & Inclusion before a full vote of Council. Ord. No. 1062-2022
