Mill Creek Restoration Easements

At a glance

Built from the official City Council minutes of April 6, May 11 and May 18, 2026. The newest minutes posted are May 18; every Council meeting after that has an agenda only, and no committee minutes are posted since April, so anything that happened after May 18 is not in this page.

• What: Ordinance 453-2026 lets the Director of Public Utilities sign deeds of easement giving the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District rights on several City-owned properties along the Mill Creek corridor through Kerruish Basin (in Cleveland and Warrensville Heights) for the sewer district's Mill Creek Restoration Project.
• Where it stands: Referred April 6, 2026; passed May 11, 2026 on second reading, 14-0 (Hudson moved, Davis seconded; Bishop absent).

Detail

• The easement rights are declared not needed for the City's public use. The properties are in Wards 1 and 2.
• Passed the same night: Ordinance 455-2026, a two-year Utilities Repair Agreement (plus one optional year) under which the City reimburses Cuyahoga County for storm and sanitary sewer repairs on an as-needed basis.
