Cleveland Police Commission Lease Extension at Perkins Avenue

The City of Cleveland is moving to secure office space for the Community Police Commission through an emergency ordinance, File No. 1162-2026, which would extend the commission's current lease at 3631 Perkins Avenue. This extension ensures the commission maintains its executive office space for an additional year, with an option for one more year.
