Cleveland Heights Special City Council Meeting June 26, 2026
Published: Jun 26, 2026
Christina H. Hallstead Appointed Director of Human Resources
The council approved Resolution 129-2026 on first reading, appointing Christina H. Hallstead as the Director of Human Resources. Council members expressed enthusiasm for her hiring, citing her strong interview performance and the importance of having an HR director for improving city staff culture and accountability. The mayor introduced the resolution, and it passed with all in favor.
Municipal Property Development and Disposition Committee Established Amidst Governance Discussions
Ordinance 125-2026, on third reading, establishes a Municipal Property Development and Disposition Committee, outlining its composition, purpose, powers, duties, and procedures. Introduced by Mayor Petrus, the ordinance passed after extensive discussion regarding section six, which concerns notification to council. Councilwoman Cohen advocated for a 'shall' requirement for notification when the administration works with the board on specific properties to prevent future administrations from using the board as a workaround, while the Mayor expressed concerns about premature notification hindering negotiation. Ultimately, Councilwoman Cohen felt the proposed amendment of 'endeavor to advise' weakened the intent, and the discussion continued regarding the balance between notification and administrative flexibility.

Resolution 121-2026, on second reading, authorizes the mayor to enter into a community cost-share agreement with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. Introduced by Mayor Petrus, the resolution was declared an emergency measure and passed by the council. It was clarified that this is not a replacement piece of legislation.
