The mayor told council the grant — administered through the Ohio Department of Public Safety Emergency Management Agency — will fund exterior cameras to enhance surveillance of public areas on the municipal campus. “This grant will allow us to get cameras, exterior cameras, to provide surveillance for the public areas behind that,” the mayor said.

Council discussed where cameras will be placed and how the system ties into existing police‑department equipment. Staff said the new cameras will complement cameras already deployed on police facilities and in community locations. The city is working with Macaulay (a grant services partner) and a vendor network that provides Verkada cameras under a service contract. Staff said the Verkada contract is a multi‑year arrangement in which equipment and updates are provided through the vendor; the funds in this award cover cameras and installation for the municipal‑campus portion of the program and require no city match.

Council members asked about coverage of front entrances and whether existing police cameras already covered some entrances. Staff said they would confirm exact field‑of‑view coverage and complete installation planning with FirstEnergy for cameras that must be mounted to utility poles. The mayor said the first round of community cameras (authorized previously by council) has started to be installed; staff reported about eight of the 30 authorized community cameras were already installed and tested, with additional installations awaiting joint‑use agreements with FirstEnergy.

Councilman Wotilla asked whether the grant amount covers a full 10‑year service period; staff said the program is delivered through a 10‑year contract structure under which the vendor supplies equipment and updates as needed. The resolution authorizing the grant acceptance, listed on the agenda as Resolution 2-25, passed on roll call. Council also discussed quarterly reporting by police on how camera footage is used for investigations and officer safety, and staff said they will update council on installation schedules and the results of the FirstEnergy coordination.","Council approved accepting a $149,370 state Homeland Security grant to install exterior surveillance cameras across Euclid’s municipal campus; the system will be provided under a 10‑year service contract and there is no local match required.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6343580,"Euclid approves 13‑month electric aggregation supply agreement with DynaG Energy",220,2218000,2438000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2252029-48b4f990270afae296c204363b76a05c&start=2218&end=2438","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2252029-48b4f990270afae296c204363b76a05c/thumbnail_2218000.jpg","/articles/6343580/Ohio/Euclid-approves-13month-electric-aggregation-supply-agreement-with-DynaG-Energy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6343580-52b53df2b6072bacd2d7e94298168612/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178407&Signature=ZQfw2n0P9xoa6-GyjMZKaGOBnCnTaKIiNoRWzm40rhg6Co~PrOKP568mfKm3LT-mEqdx0XhoIZjm-cHkVIxUrvOIm1kiZ5MeXSv50klrQe13G6mQDj1l-i19KioUkIQwdpWNJmMmBdh2EaTj9wQ6e4ytgdnnsFY9zstGpnu4ptaOJsED1MgtO0NkwidfPeH06k0CgfUg2D4FAKjeN8L3sMsuzzMgvtci9jWgU4urHXD6iTiNoPX9TPxfDUmQyi62hBQgDKg0e~zgRo1Y80Jr3NHp9ISKXxKfLYA8jaPXUiN0Lf2ANa~WeWuHQXYoJeejPXIVZgSuHlG1QbMl4emN2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Euclid City Council voted on Jan. 6 to authorize the mayor or her designee to negotiate a power‑supply agreement for the city’s electric aggregation program with DynaG Energy Services East, LLC, following a consultant recommendation for a shorter, 13‑month contract in response to current market conditions.

Eric Burns of Independent Energy Consultants, Inc., the city’s consultant on aggregation, told council the firm solicited bids and recommended a 13‑month term because energy markets have shifted since the city’s prior four‑year contract. “We’re gonna be looking recommending a shorter 13 month term this time around, looking at rates in kind of the mid 7¢ range,” Burns said.

Council members asked how the city offer would compare with other market offers, whether customers could opt out, and whether billing changes would affect residents. Burns said the city’s proposed rate would be competitive with offers on the Public Utilities Commission marketplace; customers would continue to receive a single bill from FirstEnergy as the distribution company and would be free to opt out and select other offers with no early‑termination fees. He also said the aggregation program will retain a voluntary 100% renewable option backed by wind power for residents who opt in and are willing to pay a modest premium.

Council moved to suspend rules and advance Ordinance 3-25 as an emergency measure to permit prompt contract negotiation. The motion to suspend the rules and forego additional readings passed; the ordinance then passed on roll call. Council and administration said the shorter term gives the city flexibility to respond to market changes and to revisit supplier selection next year.

The ordinance authorizes city officials to negotiate with DynaG Energy Services East, LLC through the assistance of Independent Energy Consultants, Inc., and to finalize a supply contract for the aggregation program. Staff said residents will receive information and opt‑out notices as required by state law before the supplier enrollment begins.","Council passed an emergency ordinance authorizing negotiation of a power-supply agreement with DynaG Energy Services East, LLC for the city’s electric aggregation program; consultant recommended a 13‑month term and a rate in the mid‑7¢ per kWh range.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":44,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":50,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6343585,"Euclid council delays decision on Puzzle Piece Providers daycare permit after questions about occupancy and operations",897,2188000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2252029-48b4f990270afae296c204363b76a05c&start=1291&end=2188","/articles/6343585/Ohio/Euclid-council-delays-decision-on-Puzzle-Piece-Providers-daycare-permit-after-questions-about-occupancy-and-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6343585-047146261bee7056aecbfa950ec037e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178407&Signature=AuBQyCyioIMbDFX0dpJOyDeATkFJ--5aZI~fmIQTo1reO7GG4kFI-clgmMLZpW4pFZ9MhzgDK9k1T20vpPmpA6du9aXw9kGGq0WbIeUPKnLPjTFhqEzG3h2dlUw1dM66YqIxfdt8phv-BbYhIcISvEhEjCOZZoajmd458oszjRlSZxzLk82xuVYOBxy0P5xQ8FtHoK07tp2eG6dyj32q79OXq1Jqkb~kRNw-ZMeQcKXqUG1FWKV11JtBmSur5glSzylghPV8s6-e33TB-aWOaLltXbbMZB9FRqtYueU0f4hemnvbXjQawefKkcPK3dhl44iAW85NkA7bLqTuP5gRkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Euclid City Council on Jan. 6 postponed consideration of a conditional-use permit for Puzzle Piece Providers LLC, a proposed daycare at 27801 Euclid Ave, until Monday, Feb. 3, after council members raised questions about whether the tenant was operating without required approvals and about the suitability of the space.

The item — read into the record as Resolution 1406-24 and described as a request for a conditional-use permit under the codified ordinances — drew early procedural questions because the tenant, Kiara Williams, was unable to attend the meeting for medical reasons. A representative for the landlord, Alex Krokos, told council he had been told by a city official that the site could operate with a certificate of occupancy for “5 children or less” while other approvals were pending. “When we first started this process, we reached out to, I believe it was mister Bogle in housing department. He informed miss Williams that there's a wait for her to operate until the full certificate of occupancy with 5 children or less,” Alex Krokos said.

Council members pressed administration staff for clarity. Councilwoman Hannum said she had concerns about the proposed operation and whether the office-style space would be suitable for autistic children and for mixing the use with other tenants. “Office space isn't typically good for autistic children,” Hannum said. Law Director Cooney and other city staff said they would verify whether any operation was ongoing and noted that a certificate of occupancy must be completed through planning and zoning and the building department before a business may legally operate.

City staff explained the zoning definition treats the proposal as a daycare facility, and staff said the use does not carry the same licensure and outdoor-play requirements as commercial child daycare centers; staff also said the applicant indicated an initial plan of no more than five clients. Council and staff discussed that common restrooms and lack of a dedicated elevator and separate restrooms were among the items counsel wanted clarified.

Given the outstanding questions and the tenant’s absence, council moved to postpone consideration until Feb. 3. Motion to postpone until Monday, Feb. 3 was made by Councilman Wotilla, seconded by Councilman Tanner; the motion passed on roll call with all members present voting yes.

Council directed administration to contact the applicant and the landlord, confirm whether any operation is occurring, and, if necessary, enforce a cease-and-desist until the applicant has completed required approvals. The council also asked staff to provide details about intended staffing ratios, licensure or certification (if any), accessibility, restroom and elevator access, and any proposed mitigation such as soundproofing or separate circulation.","Council postponed action on a conditional-use permit for a proposed daycare at 27801 Euclid Ave after the tenant was absent and questions arose about whether the business was operating without final approvals.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6343590,"Euclid City Council installs Christian Jaros as council president; Gregory Cosgrove sworn in as Ward 4 councilman",3018,62000,3080000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2252029-48b4f990270afae296c204363b76a05c&start=62&end=3080","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2252029-48b4f990270afae296c204363b76a05c/thumbnail_62000.jpg","/articles/6343590/Ohio/Euclid-City-Council-installs-Christian-Jaros-as-council-president-Gregory-Cosgrove-sworn-in-as-Ward-4-councilman","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6343590-a521f63b7c068546673342c1a12235f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178407&Signature=exT5ElS-s61LWVP7Krg83gfcDRnn0vebKRkGi4ZrqqTXZD3dZKWVBSHqRKao2dQWswMN~KzEZhwLJLAvDcDqu54QRmKojT6DfWPFqBl8hyv7Jz7f7u~hM3VoHK151o784yWUqaa64NGocAiUo6Mf6i19An1T4fqb~NDfAFsCtKzgDjo5B6QqUS9SNKrIwltCmjqFKKskCzQfUGGfM6mkxUbdl-CIzoKC-1r~a-0XP2T7ISiNeQfYoom2NEMlxG4WFbDv8fLLIgkQ~~E~NmozI~K9t3Dr0XVI7e~i-rf0ANKZD2pG~4pZUfpKJwRdgB~1qawS7SrCQqhGNAT5-WJ-0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council President Christian Jaros and Ward 4 councilman Gregory Cosgrove were sworn into office at the Euclid City Council meeting on Jan. 6, 2025, and the council passed an emergency ordinance naming John M.

Jaros took the oath administered at the start of the meeting and thanked his colleagues for their support. “I really wanna thank my colleagues on council for placing their faith in me, to help shepherd these meetings over the next year,” Council President Christian Jaros said after the oath. He also thanked his family for their support.

The council announced that Council President Jaros’s move into the presidency left a Ward 4 seat vacant. The council said it conducted a public application process and selected Gregory Cosgrove to fill that Ward 4 seat. Gregory Cosgrove was sworn in during the meeting and also thanked council and family members who attended.

After those oaths, council considered Ordinance 1-20-25, an emergency ordinance amending the council’s standing rules to establish a president pro tem for the 2025 term and naming John M. Watilla to that post. Law Director Cooney explained the pro tem serves when the council president is unavailable and that the appointment covers the calendar term through Dec. 31, 2025. Council moved to suspend the rules and vote; the ordinance passed on roll call.

The new leadership takes effect immediately. Council members and staff said they expect Jaros, the appointee Cosgrove, and President Pro Tem Watilla to carry council business through the year.

Looking ahead, council members said they plan to continue the regular committee and public meeting schedule and will provide additional procedural details about appointments and committee assignments at future meetings.","Council President Christian Jaros and Ward 4 councilman Gregory Cosgrove were sworn in at the Jan. 6 Euclid City Council meeting; council also enacted an ordinance naming John M.
