# Municipal Services and Properties Committee, October 26, 2026

The Cleveland City Council Municipal Services and Properties Committee met on October 26, 2026, and considered several procurement and capital-improvement items. The committee approved Ordinance 1176 authorizing agreements for Cleveland’s participation in the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic torch relay; the city’s costs would be limited to reimbursable services such as road closures and security, with no set dollar amount. It also approved, as amended, Ordinance 1284 for purchasing, repairing, and installing traffic-signal support poles: about 35 poles are targeted using $620,000 in 2025 capital funding over two years. Two committee amendments were adopted, including a requirement to provide notice of cooperative purchases and removal of redundant appropriation-account language. Ordinance 1281 was approved to contract noncompetitively with Subfin Corporation for a $31,379 warranty-preserving repair to a fire truck. Ordinance 1280 proposed donating two to three retired city vehicles annually through the Roadworthy program to support Cleveland residents’ workforce access; members requested program and nonprofit financial information, but no vote is captured in the transcript.

The committee also discussed a proposed Miles School sale-and-leaseback and redevelopment for fire, EMS, and public-safety administration. The school was appraised at $975,000; planned improvements and a 30-year lease at $21,000 per year are structured to offset the purchase price. Renovation and equipment estimates were discussed, but the transcript does not capture a final vote. Transportation projects included Brook Park Road resurfacing, for which an amendment changed the planned bond year to 2028; the project’s estimated $2.244 million state urban-paving request and Cleveland’s 9.2% share prompted debate, and the transcript leaves the committee’s final disposition unclear. Ordinance 1240 for Shaker Boulevard improvements, estimated at $10.6 million and scheduled for bidding in April 2027, was approved as amended without objection. The final item, State Road resurfacing, included a pending $2.22 million grant application and an estimated $151,688 city share if awarded; the transcript ends before a vote is recorded.
