Council approves multiple ordinances and resolutions including budget amendment and insurance renewal

After the library presentation and Q&A, council moved through its consent agenda and a series of ordinance and resolution votes. Highlights include placing ordinances on final reading and adopting them (including amendments to city code), adopting an appropriation amendment to increase the capital projects fund by $2,500,000 for large projects through the remainder of the year, and a resolution to renew liability insurance coverage with the Public Entities Pool of Ohio (PEP) at a premium that city staff said reflected valuation-driven cost increases.

Council also adopted a resolution entering into an LPA agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation to resurface Chagrin Boulevard (US-422) within Beachwood limits and a resolution authorizing the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible 2025 Toyota Sienna minivan for the community services department, with staff explaining a waiver of competitive bidding because the conversion vendor for the hybrid all-wheel-drive Sienna is single-source. Roll-call votes were recorded for each adoption with council members voting affirmatively on the listed items.
