Ordinance No. 2025001 authorized the mayor to enter into a contract with University Hospitals of Cleveland related to a Cuyahoga County OVI (operating-while-intoxicated) Task Force award received from the Ohio Department of Public Safety for 2025 and was declared an emergency.

Ordinance No. 2025002 authorized the sale at public auction of obsolete and surplus police vehicles no longer needed for municipal use and was declared an emergency. The motion to suspend and then to adopt was moved by Carbone and seconded by Roff; council approved the ordinance by roll call.

Resolution No. 2025003 accepted a monetary donation to the Strongsville Police Department. During committee reports, Councilmember Roff stated the donation was for the K-9 unit in the amount of $1,000; the resolution accepting the donation (identified in meeting documents as coming from the Construction Safety Council of Northeast Ohio) was approved by roll call.

Resolution No. 2025004 accepted a donation from the Strongsville Community Theater to the Walter F. Urnfeldt Recreation and Senior Center in appreciation of personnel and for use of meeting rooms. The donation was accepted by roll call; the monetary amount was not specified in the meeting record.

Ordinance No. 2025005 authorized change order number 17 to increase the contract price with Gilbane Building Company for the Strongsville Town Center project by $110,000.

Ordinance No. 2025006 authorized a collective bargaining agreement between the Fraternal Order of Police, Parma Lodge No. 15 (correction officers) and the City of Strongsville through Dec. 31, 2027, and was declared an emergency.
