Board meetings and strategic plans from Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority
The board meeting included a public comment session where community members raised issues regarding transit route priorities, federal grant usage, service accessibility for the deaf community, and questions concerning budget shortfalls and a potential transit levy. The meeting also featured updates on personnel, including new hires and retirements, and the presentation of reports from the Secretary-Treasurer and the CEO. Several resolutions were approved, including contracts for trash removal, rail tamper procurement, brake caliper assemblies, survey services, and safety consulting. Additionally, the board adopted the tax budget for the upcoming fiscal year, authorized student fares for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, and conducted an executive session regarding employee compensation and negotiations.
The committee discussed two key procurement items. The first was the recommendation to award a contract to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for a Transit-Oriented Development plan along the Lorain Road corridor, with board members inquiring about the project's scope, implementation, and coordination with local planning efforts. The second item involved a proposal for a 24-month on-call architectural and engineering services contract, for which staff recommended awarding the contract to DLZ Ohio, Inc., to support various upcoming infrastructure projects. Both items were advanced to the Board of Trustees for further action.
