The Euclid City Council on June 2 approved Ordinance 064-25, extending the city’s contract with Cargill Inc. to supply road salt for the 2025–26 winter season, covering Nov. 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026.
Administration said Cargill has supplied the city reliably, including during winters when other communities faced shortages. The director of public service told council the city used about 6,500 tons of salt last winter; pricing will increase from the prior year in line with other municipal product costs. The contract lists Cargill’s corporate address in North Olmsted, Ohio.
Councilwoman Steele asked whether the city retains overages for subsequent years and whether neighboring communities could draw on Euclid’s surplus. The director said the city stores extra salt in its salt shed over the summer and that, while Euclid has shared salt in past emergencies, such sharing is arranged by agreement and typically handled as a temporary trade rather than a gratis transfer.
The ordinance passed unanimously on roll call. Staff did not provide a detailed per-ton price in council discussion; the administration said the extension would keep the city supplied for the next winter season.
