Council - June 1, 2026

The City of Solon Council meeting on June 1, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and contract approvals. The council authorized the purchase of four 2026 Ford Police Interceptors and related upfitting equipment, though these items were left for further readings due to hail damage affecting trade-in values. They approved the purchase of a 2029 custom rescue pumper truck from Adventech Service and Parts LLC through the Ohio cooperative purchasing program. Several capital improvement projects were approved, including the 2026 sewer grouting program with United Survey (not to exceed $200,000), the 2026 annual catch basin repair program awarded to TC Construction Company for $262,800, and the Miles Road waterline replacement project awarded to Terrace Construction for $3,250,200. Additionally, contracts were authorized for construction administration services with Steven Havancic and Associates ($35,360) and professional pretreatment program services with NEO Environmental Services. The council also authorized entering into an amended LPA agreement with ODOT for the US 422 Harper Road interchange project. The meeting featured extensive discussion on charter review commission recommendations, including proposed amendments related to the city master plan, economic development director position, and zoning referendum processes. Motions were passed to prepare legislation for these charter amendments and to schedule public hearings for further community input. The meeting concluded with various recognitions and announcements but no further procurement actions.
