Cleveland Proposes Extension of Funds for Recreation Projects
City officials are seeking to extend the timeline and funding for several recreation facility improvements that were not completed during the 2026 calendar year. Proposed under File No. 1387-2026, this emergency ordinance would amend a previous piece of legislation, Ordinance No. 234-2026, to allow the city to use 2027 bond dollars to finish these projects.
What's in the file
The Mayor's Office of Capital Projects states that several projects approved in the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan were not completed before the 2026 bonds were issued. To address this, the ordinance seeks to reauthorize these projects for fiscal year 2027.
According to the Legislative Summary, the proposal includes:
- Authorization for a total estimated cost of $4,700,000.
- The use of 2027 bond dollars and unspent public facilities bond proceeds to complete the identified projects.
- Funding sourced from various accounts, including the General Fund, the Restricted Income Tax Fund, and several specific bond and note funds.
Who may be affected
- Recreation facilities and departments involved in the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan.
