Council - October 19, 2026

At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the Solon City Council approved two third-reading ordinances authorizing up to $7.2 million in notes for recreational facility improvements, including Solon Community Park, and up to $6 million in notes for the North Norfolk Southern Headwaters Connector Trail. Council also approved an amendment increasing the authorized amount for Bricker, Graydon, Wyatt LLP’s economic-development legal services; the transcript did not specify the revised amount. The mayor was authorized to purchase right-of-way and utility easements for the Somme and Pettibone intersection widening project for $3,448, and the city accepted storm-sewer easements for $1 each.

The consent agenda, approved under suspension and emergency, accepted Ken Ganley Bedford’s quote for two Subaru Crosstreks for the police department, authorized advertising for bids for the Grant Wood Golf Course irrigation replacement project, and authorized an application for an Ohio EPA Community and Litter Grant of up to $200,000 toward a hook-lift leaf loader. The agenda also authorized auction or disposal of surplus vehicles, equipment, and a police department generator, and payment of amounts due on listed purchase orders. Other actions included adding up to 10 part-time police officers and approving property variances; no contract amount was stated for the vehicle purchase or legal-services amendment.
