The Cleveland Board of Control consists of members of the mayor’s cabinet and leaders of city departments. City Council passes some legislation – particularly legislation that authorizes the city to enter contracts for various purposes – that leaves vendor selection and compensation to be set by the Board of Control. The board makes those decisions in this meeting, and it also holds votes on the sale and purchase of land parcels.

The agenda for this meeting will be added to this page when it is available (usually the afternoon before the meeting).

About the Board of Control:

The Mayor shall be ex­officio President of the Board (in today’s meeting there was an “acting mayor”).

The vote of a majority of all members of the Board shall be necessary to the adoption of any question, motion or order 👍🏾🗳️

Gina ♍ @GinaWalksDogs 7/16

All votes shall be by “yeas” & “nays” & entered on the record.

Today there was a walk on recommendation regarding roof repairs at Cleveland City Hall 🏛️

Gina ♍ @GinaWalksDogs 12/16

After the previous Board of Control meeting on May 31st, bids for the roof repairs of Cleveland City Hall were reevaluated. Warren Roofing had the lower bid over Millstone. 🏛️ https://t.co/AoaSb5Y4I7

Gina ♍ @GinaWalksDogs 13/16

OEO & MBE Participation Goals may have been a deciding factor ✅

The City Hall roof project should start by the end of Summer.

Gina ♍ @GinaWalksDogs 15/16

Roof replacement and Facade repairs for Cleveland City Hall total approximately $10,318,550.00💰.

This a critical repair due to possible ongoing damage within City Hall. https://t.co/YkK6rRmZkc
