Distinguished
Budget Presentation
Award
PRESENTED TO
City of Cleveland
Ohio
Executive Director
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented the
Distinguished Budget to the City of Cleveland for its annual budget for the Fiscal Year beginning
January 1, 2022. In order to receive this award, a governmental entity must publish a budget document
that meets program criteria as a Policy Document, as an Operations Guide, as a Financial Plan and as a
Communications Device. The award is valid for a one year period only. The City of Cleveland has
satisfied the necessary criteria to receive the award in the following years: 2005 to 2008, 2012 through
2022. Prior to the year 2000, the City also received 15 other awards, for a total of 30 years. We believe
our document continues to conform to program requirements. As we continue to strive for continuous
improvement, we will submit once more to GFOA to determine the eligibility for another award.
Table of Contents
Budget Policies: A summary of the provisions regulating the City’s budget, tax levies,
budget preparation processes, and appropriations as set forth in the Ohio Revised Code
and the City Charter.
City Fund Structure: The City’s budget is organized by fund. Each fund consists of
major categories. The major funds are: The General Fund, Special Revenue Funds,
Enterprise Funds, and the Agency Fund. Funds from Federal and State grants are not
included in the City’s Budget as they have their own funds and operate on a fiscal year
determined by the grantor rather than the City’s fiscal year. This section also contains
historical summaries of all City annually appropriated revenue sources, historical
expenditures by Department, and historical summaries and projected balances for all
City funds.
Glossary: Included in the document is a Glossary provided to aid with terminology that
may be unique to the City.
Over the last year, we have made significant progress and investments in our
residents, technology and infrastructure. In 2022, we built a foundation together
that will support big things to come in 2023 and beyond.
Every day, we work for a safer city, and we are making progress. Last year we
cracked down on illegal ATV and dirt bike riding in Cleveland and installed 14
speed tables in 10 locations as part of a pilot program to slow down speeding in
our neighborhoods. We have also conducted targeted warrant sweeps that
resulted in more than 100 arrests of violent offenders, confiscated more than 600
illegal guns, and advocated for resources to support a citywide violence
prevention strategy that is currently under development. The goal here is to get
resources into our neighborhoods and to stop violence before it starts and to
understand the root causes of the incidents that we see taking place far too
often.
In 2022, we brought back the midnight basketball program, now called Hoops
After Dark, presented in partnership with Cleveland's Neighborhood Resource
and Recreation Centers (NRRC) and the Cleveland Cavaliers. We've also added
additional youth and out-of-school-time programming in our NRRCs across the
city and we are growing our team in the Mayor's Office of Prevention,
Intervention, and Opportunity to drive this work.
gathered will assess property condition, vacancies, and create a lead risk score for
each property. Surveyors are also rating infrastructure adjacent to each parcel,
including sidewalk and street condition. We expect to complete the survey this
spring.
We continue progress on our commitment to modernize City Hall and its operations
for the benefit of residents, and we have championed and passed significant
legislation-including Complete and Green Streets and Pay to Stay-that strengthen
our communities, make our streets safer for families, improve our urban
environment, and protect renters' rights. And we brought recycling back to
Cleveland, with nearly 60,000 households enrolled in the program and a
contamination rate of just 15 percent (as opposed to 60 percent when the program
was shuttered in 2020).
For the first time in 12 years-and despite much fiscal uncertainty coming out of the
COVID-19 pandemic-Moody's upgraded the City's issuer rating from A1 to Aa3. We
also created and funded a new fund for compensated absences in the amount of $90
million and grew our Rainy Day Reserve fund by $20 million. There is no better
illustration of my administration's commitment to fiscal prudence than this year's
Mayor's Estimate, which, despite a $62 million structural deficit in the adopted
2022 general fund operating budget, is structurally balanced for the first time since
2020. With these actions, the City is better positioned to withstand future economic
headwinds and invest in the future.
Respectfully,
Prudent fiscal management requires the use of budgets to efficiently allocate resources
and manage ongoing operations. The written budget document itself outlines the
financial needs of the City and itemizes the amount of money to be used by the various
divisions in order to make better choices and decisions concerning policies and
activities that can or can not be implemented. This also helps to establish
accountability for the effective operation of programs and activities to be delivered.
The following data sources are used by the Office of Budget and Management for the
generation of the monthly Financial Outlook Reports in support of required internal
decision making processes:
Fiscal Policies for the City of Cleveland, dictated by state law, City ordinances, and
administrative policies, provide guidelines for planning and directing the City’s day-to-
day financial affairs. A summary of the specific policies upon which the budget was
developed are as follows:
•Internal Accounting Controls which assure the safeguarding of assets against loss
from unauthorized use.
•Yearly Audits of all financial records and actions of the City, its officials, and employees
in compliance with local, State, and Federal law.
•Aggressive Cash Management and Investment policies and programs to help
achieve the maximum financial return of invested funds.
To satisfy our goal, this budget document includes a Mayor’s Transmittal Letter which
summarizes all of the fiscal plans of the City for the upcoming fiscal year. Updated Charts and
graphs have been added to help consolidate, summarize, and better explain the information as
much as possible. There is also a detailed table of contents and a glossary of common terms to
make it easy to locate and understand its contents.
In this year’s process we have included, for the first time, output measures for the divisions
(where appropriate). This information facilitates an understanding of the work done during
prior years by City staff.
The City of Cleveland has annual operating budgets and multi-year budgets. The annual
operating budget covers the calendar year and primarily relates to the normal daily operations
of the City. This budget outlines specific expenditures (salaries, supplies, etc.) and
programmatic totals. Under Ohio law, cities are required to maintain their accounts on a cash
basis. Therefore, expenditure amounts presented in this document include not only actual
expenditures, but also encumbrances and pre-encumbrances. Budgets that fall under this
annually appropriated category are:
Airports Public Auditorium
Cemeteries Restricted Income Tax
Central Collection Agency Sinking Fund
General Fund Stadium Fund
Golf Course Storeroom
Motor Vehicle Maintenance Street Construction &
Maintenance
Printing & Reproduction
Telephone Exchange
West Side Market
Utilities
The multi-year budgets that span several years primarily consists of capital expenditures
or grants. These budgets cover programs or projects which either require more than one year
to complete or which bridge two calendar years.
Examples are:
•Capital Projects
•Categorical Grants
•Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
•Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
Cleveland at a Glance
HISTORY
In 1796, US General Moses Cleaveland led a survey of a 3.3-million-acre piece of land on the
shores of Lake Erie, what the Connecticut Land Company would call, “The Western
Reserve.” Named after Moses Cleaveland, the City of Cleveland was incorporated as a city in
1836. Aided by its proximity to rail and water routes and natural resources like iron and oil,
the City of Cleveland served as a central hub for industrial growth, commerce, and trade
through the 19th century. The City of Cleveland grew and benefited from this strong
economy throughout the early 20th century, becoming the sixth largest city in the United
States. Population in Cleveland peaked in the 1950s at nearly one million people but like
many other Rust Belt cities, Cleveland’s urban population declined in the wake of suburban
sprawl and development. However, the resiliency of a legacy city remained and reinvestment
across Cleveland at the turn of the century uniquely positioned the city to thrive in the era of
the Mid-Size City.
Cleveland also is home to the county seat, Cuyahoga County. Cuyahoga County is the second
largest county in Ohio.
DIVERSITY
Cleveland’s communities are steeped in a rich tradition of cultural and ethnic identity. Jobs
and opportunity drew European immigrants from Europe to Cleveland in the early 1900s
and African Americans during the Great Migration after World War I. In 1967, Cleveland
elected Carl B. Stokes to Mayor, making Cleveland the first major US city to elect an African
American mayor.
More than 100 different ethnic groups speaking more than 60 languages call Cleveland
home. The City of Cleveland maintains several Sister City partnerships designed to enhance
cultural exchanges and coordinates with various community groups to improve and expand
access to city services with cultural competency. Cleveland was also recently ranked one of
the fastest places for immigrants to become US Citizens.
EDUCATION
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) is the third largest public school system
in Ohio and serves more than 36,000 students. CMSD is committed to preparing students for
success after high school, whether that be career or college. The Planning and Career
Exploration (PACE) Program coordinates with the community and employers to get students
ready for a career. The Say Yes Program provides scholarships and support services to
reduce barriers to attending college.
Cleveland is also home to two major universities and a large community college. Cleveland
State University is a public 4-year institution located downtown and is nationally recognized
for its work in supporting economically disadvantaged students. Case Western Reserve
University a private 4-year institution and is the largest research university in Ohio and
14th largest in the US. Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) was Ohio’s first community
college and serves more than 55,000 students in workforce preparation training and four-
year university transfers.
SPORTS
Cleveland is proudly represented by Major League and Minor League professional sports
teams. The Cleveland Browns football team joined the National Football League in 1950,left
the city in 1995, and in 1999 returned to the city. The Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team
joined the National Basketball Association in 1970 and brought a championship home in
2016. The Cleveland Guardians baseball team joined Major League Baseball in 1901 and
have won two World Series titles and numerous Division titles. The Cleveland Crunch indoor
soccer team joined as a member of the Major League Indoor Soccer in 1989. After a hiatus
from 2005 to 2020, the Crunch joined the Major Arena Soccer League 2 in 2021, appearing in
two championship games and winning one championship title. The Cleveland Monsters
hockey team joined the American Hockey League in 2007 and have won one Calder Cup
championship.
In 2022, Major League Soccer announced its intention to open an MLS Next franchise in
Cleveland. The team is expected to debut in 2025.
TOURISM
In addition to sports franchises, Cleveland boasts a variety of international, national, and
regional tourist attractions that are enjoyed by travelers and locals alike. Museums abound
in Cleveland, including the world-renowned Cleveland Museum of Art and Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. The Museum of Natural History, Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art, The
Great Lakes Science Center, and Aquarium also offer entertainment for those of all ages.
Theatre and arts enthusiasts will be impressed with Cleveland’s cultural offerings.
Cleveland’s theatre district, Playhouse Square, is the second largest theatre district outside
of New York City and hosts the largest outdoor chandelier in North America. The critically
acclaimed Cleveland Orchestra, appropriately considered one of the best orchestras in the
world, performs in beautiful Severance Hall.
Cleveland is also quickly growing a reputation for its food and beverage scene, becoming a
destination for those who indulge in craft beer.
ECONOMY
Manufacturing and industry still dominate much of Cleveland’s workforce and commerce,
however it looks differently than it did a century ago. Steel and metal manufacturing
remains a national contributor to production output, but chemical coatings have also
emerged as a core component of manufacturing. The largest flat-rolled steel producer in
North America, Cleveland-Cliffs, and one of the largest producers of paints and coatings in
the US, Fortune 500 company Sherwin Williams, both chose the heart of downtown
Cleveland as their headquarters. Combined, these industries create a robust supply of
resources for the region and the country.
Healthcare, life science, and research have further diversified the city’s economy. Cleveland
is home to four world-class healthcare institutions, including the Cleveland Clinic, one of the
nation’s top hospitals. Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is a leading
research and teaching medical school, providing a foundation of expert health care
professionals. Additionally, medical innovation and biomedical healthcare continues to grow
along a burgeoning Health-Tech Corridor.

Budgetary Control
By law, the City is required to adopt a balanced budget in which expenditures do not exceed
estimated resources, as certified by the Cuyahoga County Budget Office. Once adopted,
modifications to the original budget must be approved by City Council. The City maintains
budgetary control by not permitting expenditures to exceed appropriations for personnel
costs and other costs, within a division of the City, without the approval of City Council.
Adjustments to the budget can only be made within a division and then within each category.
Further legislation is required to move budget amounts from "personnel" to "other" or vice
versa, or between divisions. It is the Mayor's policy to enact whatever measures are required
to maintain a balanced budget at existing levels of service to the residents.
Capital Assets
Capital assets include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets. The City
defines capital assets as assets with an estimated useful life in excess of one year and an
individual cost of more than $5,000 for land, furniture, fixtures, equipment and vehicles and
$10,000 for all other assets or projects. Purchased assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are recorded at their acquisition value on the
date contributed. The City depreciates capital assets on a straight-line basis based on
estimated useful life.
Economic Analysis
On a monthly basis, the Office of Budget & Management analyzes the regional economy and
issues that impact it, including unemployment, inflation, economic activity and growth. This
information is disseminated to the Administration to provide context and aid in deciding the
allocation and use of limited resources.
Indirect Costs
The City of Cleveland utilizes a cost allocation methodology that ensures Enterprise Funds,
Federal or State Awards, and other grants contribute their fair share of central service costs.
Indirect costs charged to Federal programs comply to 2 C.F.R. part 225. They are based on
actual allowable salaries of personnel assigned to the program.
Operational
The City conducts its fiscal and budgetary deliberations in City Hall Council committee
room. All proceedings are broadcast by the City's TV20 television station.
Unencumbered Funds
The City of Cleveland certifies to the County Auditor the total amount, from all sources,
available for expenditures from each fund. The amount includes any unencumbered balances
that existed at the end of the preceding year. The total appropriations from each fund cannot
exceed the total estimated revenue available for expenditure. General Fund department
budgets that are not expensed or encumbered at the end of the year are used to offset
expenses in other departments through a Transfer Ordinance or revert back to the General
Fund unencumbered beginning balance to help finance the new fiscal year.
Vacancy Replacements
Budget payroll projections prepared by the Office of Budget & Management are based on the
estimate of budgeted positions for the year. Dollars saved by unfilled vacancies are quantified
and reported throughout the year. Unfunded positions can be hired if swapped with budgeted
vacancies. Administrative decisions are made annually concerning the ability to roll vacant
positions into the new budget year based on priorities, the economy, and other budget factors.
Transfer of Appropriations
The annual appropriation ordinance establishes the legal spending limits of each division in
two categories - "personnel expenses" and "other expenses". Adjustments to the budget can
only be made within a division and then within each category. Further legislation is required,
in the form of a Transfer Ordinance, to move budget authority between divisions or between
"personnel" and "other " expenses.
Toward the end of each budget year, a Transfer Ordinance is prepared by the Finance
Department and recommended by the Mayor to Council. The Ordinance specifies the transfer
of unencumbered balances of an appropriation made for the use of a department, division, or
purpose to any other department, division, or purpose.
Mayor's Estimate
The fiscal year of the City shall begin on the first day of January. On or before the fifteenth
day of November in each year the Mayor shall prepare an estimate of the expense of
conducting the affairs of the City for the following year and shall submit the estimate to
Council no later than February 1 of the following year. This estimate shall be compiled from
detailed information obtained from the various departments on uniform blanks prepared by
the Director of Finance, and shall set forth:
The Mayor shall submit the estimate prepared as set forth in this section to the Council and
shall make it available electronically on a City website and electronically or in print to
citizens who may call for it. Copies of the estimate shall also be made available in print or
electronically to the newspapers of the City, and to the public library and each of its
branches.
Basis of Budgeting
The City maintains budgetary control on a modified cash basis. Revenues are recorded as
they become available. Expenses are recognized when paid or encumbered by ordinance,
contractual obligation, or purchase order. Estimated expenses are pre-encumbered and
subsequently encumbered prior to release of purchase orders or delivery orders to vendors.
On a monthly basis, the Office of Budget and Management prepares and reviews with
managers expenditure and revenue annual projections. Variances to budget are continuously
analyzed. A pre-encumbrance or encumbrance that exceeds appropriations is not approved
until Council authorizes additional appropriations or transfer of funds. Unencumbered
appropriations lapse at year-end. The City Charter requires all contracts in excess of $50,000
must be authorized by ordinance.
Detail provisions regulating the City's budget, tax levies, and appropriations are set forth in
the Ohio Revised Code and the City Charter.
The City's efforts will include but not be limited to interventions such as the following:
Executing the Putting Assets to Work initiative to identify and quickly reposition
and market city owned parcels for development
Unlocking the full potential of Cleveland's commercial corridors, particularly
Opportunity Corridor
Reforming our nuisance abatement process through a taskforce to deliver swift
responses to improve neighborhood quality of life
Streamlining our lead hazard abatement process, coupled with proactive outreach
to owners and tenants to bring properties into a lead-safe condition
Allocating Home Repair and Gap Financing through American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds
Investing $10M in ARPA funds to grow the number of local workers in
infrastructure, construction, lead abatement, brownfield remediation, broadband
deployment, and clean energy projects
The City's work will be fluid and ever-evolving, and will continue to include new policies as
the East Side begins to grow and recover.
In 2022, the Bibb Administration doubled down on police reform and violence prevention.
The Bibb Administration continues to work zealously to achieve compliance with the Consent
Decree, as evidenced by the establishment of a Police Accountability Team designed to move
the City's commitment to change forward. The work of this team will be part of a concerted
effort to make this city safer. The City installed a new Community Police Commission, which
dissolved the previous commission established by the Consent Decree in 2015. The new
Commission represents and addresses a direct community demand passed by voters last
November through Issue 24. The implementation of Issue 24 also brought significant
changes to strengthen the Civilian Police Review Board and the City's Office of Professional
Standards, which will now independently investigate complaints of misconduct. Together,
Cleveland will chart the path for delivering the strongest citizen oversight model in the
United States.
In 2022, the City allocated over $15 million in ARPA funds to violence prevention efforts in
the City of Cleveland, which include technology upgrades and expansions to improve Police's
response to crime and funding for expanding Cleveland's co-responder model to improve
engagement with those experiencing mental or behavioral health crises, as well as funds to
hire a strategist to focus on a comprehensive approach to public health, mental health, and
public safety in the City.
The City's approach for 2023 maintains the proven philosophy that violence prevention work
must focus on intervention, communication and community engagement, and social justice.
To ensure that these values are embedded into the City of Cleveland's core approach to police
reform and violence prevention, the Administration is using a Department of Justice grant
and has proposed ARPA funds to create and implement a ten-year Violence Prevention
Strategic Plan. This Strategic Plan will inform future City investments in violence
prevention.
Lakefront Development
The lakefront is one of Cleveland's most valuable assets, and all Clevelanders should have
easy access to our community's greatest natural resource. Community-focused, investment-
driven, and sustainable redevelopment of Cleveland's lakefront is of paramount importance
to the City. Our vision for Cleveland's lakefront includes equitable access to Lake Erie across
the City, recreational and economic development opportunities that create jobs and drive
growth, and the protection of our fresh water for the next generation. Achieving this vision is
a multi-generational, multi-faceted effort, which requires collaboration across many sectors.
Through the first year in office, the Bibb Administration took swift action to kick-start
lakefront redevelopment, accelerating the North Coast Connector study of a land bridge to
connect downtown the Lake, initiating a master plan for the downtown lakefront, investing
in the next phase of the CHEERS plan adjacent to Gordon Park, and evaluating the potential
economic impact of closing Burke Lakefront Airport for the enjoyment of all who work, visit,
and play in Cleveland. We will continue to seek feedback from residents of the City of
Cleveland with extensive community outreach and engagement in 2023. Additionally, using
results from the North Coast Lakefront Master Plan and the Burke Lakefront Airport
Economic Development Analysis, the City will continue to take data-driven and community-
informed steps toward developing a world-class lakefront on Cleveland's North Coast.

Since 2001, the City's fiscal condition fluctuated. Periods of relative fiscal health have
generally been punctuated by rapid and severe declines. For example, from 2004 to 2008 the
City's revenues increased annually by an average of 4%, but then declined by 6% in 2009.
Similarly, the City's revenues increased nearly 6% annually from 2015 to 2019, only to
decline 12% in 2020. These revenue swings are generally driven by the performance of
broader regional and national economies and felt more quickly and acutely due to the City's
reliance on income tax for over 66% of its General Fund revenues (using 2023 budgeted
figures). History demonstrates that taxes such as those derived from wages are among the
first to respond (positively or negatively) to economic conditions. Since 2001, the City has
become more reliant on income taxes as other sources of revenue have declined or been
eliminated. Nevertheless, the City's strong financial management practices have ensured its
ability to fulfill its obligations to operate within a balanced budget and continue to provide
essential services to its residents.
The City received an upgrade from Moody's Investors Service on the series 2022 General
Obligation Bonds from A1 to Aa3; it has been more than 12 years since the City last received
a bond rating upgrade. The City was also able to transfer dollars to the Rainy Day Fund in
the amount of $20M and establish and fund the Payroll Reserve Fund by $90M, these
transfers were able to be made due to America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars received in
2021 and 2022. The establishment of the Payroll Reserve Fund will help the City fund
payroll related obligations in future years, notably a 27th pay period in 2024. The City has
exceeded pre-pandemic levels of income tax collection as compared to 2019; during 2022 the
City collected $463M, as compared to $441M in 2019. The City is slightly below 2019
collections for Admissions, Parking and Hotel Tax; during 2019 the City received $41.2M
while 2022 collections were $37.5M
For fiscal year 2023, the City has conservatively developed a General Fund budget, which
reflects revenue estimates of $710,976,488 and anticipated expenditures of $710,751,206,
resulting in a structurally balanced budget by $225,282.
The City's overall LTFP goal is to provide high quality service to every resident, business and
visitor by creating structural balance in the City's budget resulting in a sustainable economic
future for the City.
•Help identify and prepare a thorough analysis of, and insights into, issues that
impact the City's financial condition over the next five years.
•Investigate and propose cash flow strategies required to manage future adverse
business climate changes.
•Support the preparation of the City's yearly Tax Budgets due to the Cuyahoga
County Budget Commission.
The City's current and projected financial condition is stable due actions underway in the
City to achieve a Structurally Balanced Budget. However, one of the major issues affecting
the City of Cleveland is that revenue has not kept pace with the increase in expenses,
especially in the area of wages, benefits, health care, fuel and utilities.
In Ohio, leading economic indicators continue a modest growth. The parameters below
provide a summary of the City of Cleveland's overall financial status over the last few years
from internal documents as well as the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These and other financial
and Consumer Price Index (CPI) factors are monitored by the City of Cleveland on a monthly
basis in tracking, reporting, planning, and directing the City's day-to-day financial affairs. It
is expected that successfully controlling costs in the coming years will preserve our current
work force and the continued, efficient delivery of services.
THE PLAN
The City's LTFP will ensure that the City's finances are managed in an acceptable manner
that provides for the delivery of quality services while living within its means. The financial
plan encompasses, and is built around, a number of financial projections and outlooks of the
present and future. Expenses and revenues are examined to project how they may fluctuate
due to outside forces and rise or fall due to internal decisions. The scope of this plan,
therefore is to:
Identified Long Term Financial Plan components of the Cleveland Plan are as follows:
The City of Cleveland began to develop and adopt a Structurally Balanced Budget (SBB)
policy, per GFOA, to ensure that its recurring revenues are equal to its recurring
expenditures in the adopted budget.
The "outline" below identifies and defines basic SBB guiding principles and key elements
adopted by the City in considering the development of its formal SBB policy.

Below are draft SBB guiding principles to be considered for the LTFP:
• The resultant SBB plan and processes will be based on solid financial principles.
• The resultant SBB budget must support future financial sustainability.
Challenges to a SSB are many. One of the major issues affecting the City of Cleveland is that
revenue has not kept pace with the increase in expenses, especially in the area of wages,
benefits, health care, fuel and utilities.
Debt/Investment Policy
The City of Cleveland currently has a Debt / Investment Policy, adopted by the Director of
Finance that governs the investment activities of the Treasurer's Office of the City. This
policy is designed to ensure prudent management of public funds, conform to Chapter 178 of
the Codified Ordinances of the City of Cleveland, availability of operating and capital funds
when needed, and an investment return competitive with comparable funds and financial
market indices.
This policy applies to the investment of all monies of the City of Cleveland under the custody
and control of the Division of Treasury. Any practice not clearly authorized under this policy
is prohibited. The guidance set forth herein is to be strictly followed by all those responsible
for any aspect of the management or administration of these funds.
City debt is only to be undertaken when it is verified that project revenues or specific
resources will be available and sufficient to service the debt over its life. Also, City debt is not
issued for periods exceeding the useful life of the project to be financed. This will all help
ensure that the City maintains the highest possible credit ratings without compromising
delivery of basic services.
The Ohio Revised Code also provides that net debt of a municipal corporation shall not
exceed 10.5% of the assessed value of all property in the municipal corporation as listed and
assessed for taxation. As of the beginning of 2015, the City had limited capacity under the
indirect debt limitation to issue additional unvoted debt.
There are a number of assumptions that are used in order to project the long term financial
results of the City, however, the key assumptions are outlined below:

Funding gaps are identified and status reports prepared and presented to the Administration
for review and decision making. The completed LTFP will be the first step in satisfying
OBM's Financial Goal of developing a comprehensive Fiscal Policy.
Monthly Financial Economic Analysis
The Office of Budget and Management tracks and reports the status of financial and
economic indicators for the City of Cleveland on a monthly basis to help facilitate positive
change. This is accomplished by publishing accurate, reliable, and timely data at the
municipal and regional level. The strength and weaknesses and forecast risks are also
detailed so management can make informed decisions.
311 Call Center
Residents are able to call 311 for non-emergency complaints, and receive immediate
assistance or be assigned a complaint number. 311 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The 311 solution creates a customer service oriented government which:
• Provides improved accessibility and service to citizens.
• Provides improved support to city council and administration departments/ divisions
in their efforts to deliver service to citizens.
• Establishes priorities/policies in response to citizen and departmental needs.
• Allows the City to distribute accurate uniform information while maintaining a
permanent record of citizen inquiries.
While there is generally no rule concerning the number of performance measures required in
an organization, it is agreed that good performance measures, based on data, provide
numeric descriptions and that tell a story about whether or not objectives and goals are being
achieved.
The Budget Office is currently beginning a process, as part of the LTFP, requiring
Department requests to be linked to performance measures to better understand what
results or improvements can be expected.
Conclusion
The fundamental objectives of the City of Cleveland's LTFP processes are to understand and
to respond proactively to our internal and external financial environment, and be as
prepared as possible to deal with the unexpected.
The LTFP is an important element in the city's long-term growth and operating blueprint.
We believe that the processes, goals, and strategies introduced here will help reduce the
effects of the normal cyclical fluctuations in city revenues and expenses, thereby ensuring
that we can sustain essential city services and pay for growth-related requirements.
This initial plan is meant to be a realistic communications vehicle for city administrators,
policy makers, and staff for the delivery of future financial strategies on behalf of the
community.
This plan, going forward, will be reviewed and revised on an annual basis and updated
accordingly as a result of direct changes in the financial status, socio economic environment,
or internal factors of the City.
The projects implemented by the Capital Improvement Program will shape the physical
landscape of Cleveland for generations, and will play an important role in the City's long-
term ability to deliver the critical services necessary for attracting private investment and
making Cleveland a vital, vibrant and connected city.
Does the City's Capital Improvement Plan impact the Operating Budget?
No. The Capital Budget funds major improvements to City facilities, infrastructure and
equipment and is based on the needs identified by the three year Capital Improvement Plan.
The Capital Budget is funded through debt issuance, Restricted Income Tax funds and
grants. The City's Operating Budget covers day-to-day expenses and expenses related to
delivery of service. Further, because Capital Budgets operate based upon the length of a
project this results in multi-year budgeting, as opposed to the Operating Budget which is
appropriated on an annual basis.
Capital project requests are evaluated based primarily on their consistency with the
Citywide Plan and their potential for making Cleveland a safer, healthier and more
economically vibrant community. While the City has created comprehensive planning
documents in the past, the Connecting Cleveland 2020 Citywide Plan adopted in 2007 was
the first plan that had a direct and controlling influence on the City's Capital Budget. This
allowed the City to strategically invest its limited capital dollars, rather than making
funding decisions on a year-to-year or even a project-by-project basis.
When completed, the first draft of the Capital Plan is presented for review to the City
Planning Commission, City Council and Cleveland's citizens. Suggestions received from the
community are then used to create a final draft that addresses the City's capital needs and
reflects the priorities of Cleveland's citizens and businesses.
The inclusion of a project in later years signifies that there is a need for the project; however,
these later year projects are less certain of receiving funding in their respective scheduled
years. As discussed below in the section "Bond Capacity and the Three Year Capital/
Improvement Program," projects listed in the years 2022-2024 have about a one out of three
chance of receiving funding in the year for which they are listed.
Does the City have to raise taxes in order to implement the Capital Improvement
Plan?
No. The Capital Improvement Program utilizes a combination of existing City resources and
the issuance of general obligation and revenue bonds to fund capital projects. The City's
investment is then used to leverage additional resources from the state and federal
governments, as well as from private sources. The Capital Improvement Program works
closely with the Department of Finance to create a Capital Budget that is conducive to the
City's long-term financial stability.
How does the City ensure that projects will be implemented on time and within
budget?
The Mayor's Office provides city departments and partner agencies with assistance in order
to ensure that capital projects are completed on time, within budget and in compliance with
all applicable laws and regulations. One major goal of the capital improvement program is to
make the City of Cleveland a more responsive partner to contractors, ultimately leading to
lower project bids and saving taxpayer dollars.
The City's GIS system is accessible online to Cleveland citizens and businesses. In the online
GIS version of the Capital Improvement Program, users are able to "zoom in" to see the
capital projects planned for their neighborhood or even their block. By clicking on a specific
project, users will be able to view a project description, including a breakdown of the project's
funding sources and contact information for the project's manager.
GIS also allows the City to facilitate the coordination of capital projects among divisions and
departments. For example, if the Mayor's Office of Capital Projects is planning on
reconstructing a street in 2020 and the Division of Water is planning a project for the same
street in 2021, the two divisions may be able to do all work at the same time, ensuring that
the street is excavated only once. This will save taxpayer dollars and reduce the disruption of
daily life for nearby residents.
Ad valorem property taxes for the payment of debt service on all unvoted debt of
the combined overlapping subdivisions (city, county, schools, library, RTA) cannot
exceed 10 mills;
10 mills is the maximum aggregate millage that can be levied without voter
approval on any single piece of property;
Only the City, County, and the various school Districts (Cleveland, Shaker and
Berea) can levy ad valorem property taxes within the 10 mill limit;
10 Mill is calculated for the year in which the debt service for all the overlapping
jurisdictions is highest;
It is calculated by dividing the debt service needed in a year for the jurisdiction
into the assessed valuation of the jurisdiction.
There are two factors affecting the City's ability to issue general obligation bond
debt: 1) The amount of combined debt which has been issued by the overlapping
jurisdictions, primarily the City; and 2) The assessed valuation of the City.
Bond Capacity and the Three Year Capital Improvements Program
Our Finance Department is conservatively advising that recent events may limit the City's
general obligation bond capacity in the years 2016-2030 to an annual range of $50 million.
However, our multi-year Capital Improvement Program shows the following project needs in
future years of the Plan:
We are showing these higher totals in our plan for several reasons.
State and Federal Stimulus Moneys: We do not think we have seen the last of federal and
state injections of stimulus moneys. Assuming these opportunities arise, we want to be ready
to respond with well-conceived, shovel-ready projects. We will have to take some risks in
paying for designs of projects for which construction funding is not yet assured, but we
believe such risks are appropriate in the impending five-year economy.

The fund structure makes it difficult to define the City's budget because each fund has its
own budget. Fund Balance is defined as the balance in the fund remaining from all revenues,
expenditures and carryover funds that are subject to future appropriation. The City receives

State Racing Commission/Ohio Casino Control Commission and 2% each to the Law Enforcement
Training Fund/Problem Gambling and Addictions Fund. The City then distributes 85% to the
General Fund and 15% to a Special Fund for Council.
Cigarette & Liquor Tax:
The Cigarette tax is a County tax administered by the State, and distributed back to the Counties,
then to the City based on the volume of cigarette licenses sold to dealers and tax stamps purchased
to be affixed to individual packages. The state excise tax on cigarettes is now $1.25 per pack.
Liquor tax is a County occupational license tax imposed on the privilege of engaging in the alcohol
beverage business in Ohio. Businesses such as convenience stores, taverns, etc must obtain a license
from the state to, dispense alcoholic beverages. A portion of these license fees are then remitted
back to the City from the state.
Commercial Activity Tax (CAT): This is a State assessed tax enacted when Tangible Property Tax

Admission Tax for most entertainment events scheduled in the City as well as a tax on the leasing
of motor vehicles. Both of these taxes were previously increased as part of an overall funding plan
for the reconstruction/rebuilding of Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The Motor Vehicle Lessor Tax
was raised from $4 to $6 per transaction as of August 1, 1996. The State distributes a portion of
Estate, Liquor and Cigarette taxes to their municipality of origin. Estate Tax has been eliminated

Admission Tax: Increased from 6% to 8% effective January 1, 1997, receipts are on ticket sales for
entertainment events held within the city.
Electric Excise Tax: Excise Tax is revenue derived from a fee paid to a municipality from a

State and Local Government Fund: Local Government fund is a state of Ohio revenue sharing
program established in 1934 in which cities share in the collection of the state income, sales,
public utility excise tax, and corporate franchise taxes. The distribution basis is a function of
population and property tax values. The basis was collectively reduced by 50% by the State of
Ohio. These funds are distributed in two ways nine-tenths (90%) to counties divided among all
towns, villages and municipalities, and one-tenth directly to cities which collect an income tax.
Transfer In: Income from land sales at Chagrin Highlands and Economic Development.
Income Tax: The city income tax rate is 2.5% of all wages and business profits.
Investment Income: Receipts from Interest earned on Investments of comingled funds, including
Treasury Notes, Treasury Bills, certificates of Deposit, and Repurchase Agreements.
Other Revenue Terms:
Certificate of Estimated Resources: An original Certificate of Estimated Resources, received
from the County Auditor, is based on an estimate of the year-end unencumbered balances and the
estimated revenues for the upcoming calendar year as reflected on the tax budget. An amended
certificate of estimated resources is received, by the City, after the tax rate resolution and the
unencumbered balances/revised revenue estimates are certified to the County.
Mills: Local Property tax rates are always computed in mills. One mill costs the property owner
$1.00 for every $1,000 of assessed valuation each year. In our example, the $100,000 will produce
$35 in tax revenue for each mill.
In Ohio, millage is referred to as "inside" millage and "outside" millage. Inside millage is the millage
provided by the Constitution of the State of Ohio and is levied without the vote of the people as
established very early in the State's history. The inside millage rate is limited to ten mills in each
political subdivision. Public schools, cities, counties and other local governments are allocated a
portion of the ten inside mills.

Mission Statement
To ensure the rule of law, administer justice and to improve public safety, by providing a forum
where persons obtain the orderly resolution of disputes and related services; all done in a fair,
impartial, professional, courteous, and timely manner.
The Cleveland Municipal Court is a court of record having jurisdiction in law and equity
pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code. The Court has territorial jurisdiction over the City of
Cleveland and the Village of Bratenahl. The Court may determine misdemeanor violations of
both the City of Cleveland Ordinances and the State of Ohio statutes. The Court conducts
preliminary hearings and sets bonds in felony cases committed in the City of Cleveland. In
civil matters, the Small Claims Division of the Court can determine actions where the
amount in controversy does not exceed $6,000.00. The General Division of the Court can
determine civil cases where the amount in controversy does not exceed $15,000.00. These
civil cases can include, but are not limited to, actions for the recovery of property, injunctions,
contracts, personal injury, collection proceedings, and transferred judgments.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and statewide shut down in the spring of 2020, the
Cleveland Municipal Court's operations and various programs were drastically curtailed.
Some cases are still being heard virtually. Jury Trials resumed at the Court in June, 2021.
PRETRIAL SERVICES
The Cleveland Municipal Court, in its endeavor to embrace and guide bail reform, and to
encourage new and creative ideas for helping citizens rise above difficult circumstances,
established the Pretrial Services Department on September 24, 2018. The mission of this
department is to ensure pretrial justice and public safety through rational pretrial decision
making protocols and transition services informed by evidence based practices. Pretrial
services are critical to assisting the Court in making prompt, fair, and effective release or
detention decisions including, where needed, treatment possibilities and the monitoring and
supervision of released defendants.
In the first year of operation, Pretrial Services was able to provide the necessary supervision
and services allowing the release of over 1,000 misdemeanor defendants who otherwise may
have remained incarcerated. Of that amount, 853 defendants were monitored by electronic
devices. Pretrial Services also completed 3,800 Public Safety Assessments on felony
defendants and 2,000 misdemeanants.
The success of Pretrial Services is reflected in the decreased failure to appear (FTA) rates
from 42% before implementation, to 19% in 2019, 6% in 2020 and 25% in 2021. Keep in
mind that the 2020 FTA numbers may be impacted by an Administrative Order effecting
court dates due to COVID-19.
COURT PROGRAMS
ANIMAL RELATED ORDINANCES COURSE (AROC): Almost every offense that comes
through Probation is referred to some type of educational program, so why not provide one
related to animal offenses as well? In response, the Court now provides an educational
opportunity for animal related crimes through a program called the Animal Related
Ordinances Course or AROC. In 2019, Cleveland Animal Control and Probation Officer Jodi
Burmeister created a free, 90 minute class educating participants on how to comply with all
COMMUNICATION AWARENESS PROJECT (CAP): Many of the people that appear before
The Cleveland Municipal Court are not criminals, however, they have not recognized the
duties and responsibilities that go along with every citizen's unwritten social contract.
Traditional referrals may not be adequate in these cases and we have another tool available
to provide education to those being supervised. The Communication Awareness Project
(CAP) was established in 2012. This program teaches conflict resolution skills, civility and
basic "adulting" to individuals who have experienced a negative interaction with peers,
neighbors, co-workers, employers, teachers, and even strangers. CAP referrals may be
appropriate for individuals who have been charged with offenses such as: obstructing official
business, criminal damaging, menacing, discharging firearms, ethnic intimidation, littering,
petty theft, dog bites, disorderly conduct etc. Cleveland Municipal Court's Treatment
Coordinator Wallace Green created the current curriculum and teaches the 2 hour class
every other month via zoom. Participants interact through poll questions and various
discussions how to recognize and pursue positive goals.
MENTAL HEALTH DOCKET: The Mental Health Docket, now under the direction of Judge
Suzan Sweeney operates in cooperation with area community mental health agencies to
provide intensive supervision to offenders living with the challenges of mental illness. The
Cleveland Municipal Court has recognized the need for behavioral health services, case
management and supervision for clinically diagnosed mentally ill and/or developmentally
disabled offenders to remain in the community and function as healthy, law-abiding citizens
and to reduce the likelihood that they will return to the criminal justice system as offenders.
The judges identify defendants with possible mental health issues, and an assessment of the
defendant is made via an in-depth interview by the Court Psychiatric Unit to determine
whether the defendant is a candidate for the Mental Health Docket.
If eligible, after placement into the program the offender may be linked to a variety of
community programs and agencies with the assistance of specially trained probation officers.
Certain offenders may be offered a full range of services provided by agency providers
including forensic psychiatry, medication management, intensive outpatient substance abuse
treatment for dually diagnosed offenders, partial hospitalization services and support
services
MOCK TRIAL: The annual Mock Trial Competition, sponsored by the Cleveland Municipal
Court and the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association took place at the bar association in
May following a two year hiatus due to the pandemic. The program, under the direction of
Judge Lauren C. Moore, involves 250-350 Cleveland students and their teachers who end up
spending an entire day presenting both sides of a hypothetical case that is based upon similar
cases before the Court, such as stalking, driving under the influence, and children getting
access to firearms. The ultimate aim of the Mock Trial Competition is to improve student
listening, speaking and reasoning skills.
PETTY THEFT: In an effort to reduce recidivism and understand long term effects of
stealing, Cleveland Municipal Court created an in house Petty Theft class. This free, 90
minute class is held via zoom every other month and taught by Probation Officer Jodi
Burmeister. Topics such as employee theft, how it affects the community and loved ones,
crimes of moral turpitude, the fraud triangle, prevention and mental rehearsing are covered.
Participants interact through poll questions and identify triggers. Referrals from outside
courts are welcome.
REDIRECTING OUR CITY'S KIDS (ROCK): In response to approximately 3,000 day and
night minor curfew citations received each year, the Cleveland Municipal Court created
R.O.C.K., Redirecting Our City's Kids, a diversion program for parents or guardians who are
issued citations for a minor's curfew violation. Participants are given 90 days to fulfill the
requirements, which include one monthly parent meeting, a parent/teacher conference for
the child, and four hours of community service for the child at the Boys and Girls Club or City
Mission. There is a $25 dollar fee for the ROCK Program. Successful participation means
parents are involved in the school, the child is held accountable for his or her actions and the
case will be dismissed.
VETERANS TREATMENT DOCKET: The Veterans Treatment Docket, under the direction
of Judge Charles L. Patton Jr., is a specialized docket that works within the framework of the
Cleveland Municipal Court. It is intended to serve court-involved active duty service
members and veterans. Other specialty dockets, operated by the Court, target probationers
with similar behavioral issues and needs such as mental health, alcohol and other drugs,
domestic violence and solicitation. The Veterans Treatment Docket, however, deals with
probationers whose actions may include a range of needs and offenses. What they have in
common is not necessarily their behavior, but their past military service. By providing a
specialized docket, the Court increases the veteran's chance of success. Facilitating access to
various treatment programs and fostering interaction with other veterans helps to ensure
that those who have served receive the services they deserve.
Interpreter services are for traffic and criminal misdemeanor arraignments, felony
preliminary hearings, driving privilege hearings, small claims court cases, wedding
ceremonies, probation department referrals, psychiatric evaluations, TASC substance abuse
assessments, pretrial, jury trial assignments and jurors summoned by the Cleveland
Municipal Court, and ancillary court services. There is no cost for interpreter services.
CLEVELAND JUSTICE: The Court has enjoyed a very successful partnership with Channel
20 in the production of Cleveland Justice, a half hour program that gives viewers an insight
on what happens in our courtrooms on a daily basis. Unfortunately production was
suspended in March, 2020 due to the pandemic.

Mission Statement
To inform, engage, and empower the citizens living and working in the City
of Cleveland by providing education and resources around housing, Right
to Counsel, and to provide a fair, efficient, innovative and accessible forum
for litigants involved in all housing matter.
Cleveland Housing Court strives to fulfill its objective to make justice accessible to all.
Cleveland Housing Court remains a leading specialized problem-solving court by rethinking
its purpose during a global crises. It will continue to use a technological approach as it
innovatively changes how it interacts with the Cleveland and Bratenahl communities
moving forward.
The following are some of the Housing Court's ongoing and recently enacted innovative
initiatives:
CRIMINAL
VIRTUAL COURT
Cleveland Housing Court with the help of the Ohio Supreme Court will continue to offer
virtual hearings. Over 95% the Court's civil and criminal hearings are held virtually. All of
the Court's criminal pre-trials and community control status hearings are held virtually.
Holding court virtually reduces failure to appear rates, increases compliance, and allows
defendants and tenants to participate without missing work, incurring unnecessary costs or
jeopardizing their health coming into a stressful and unhealthy environment. In addition,
conducting virtual court has provided access to justice to everyone regardless of
circumstances and location.
HOARDING DOCKET
Hoarding is identified as a disorder by both the American Psychological Association and the
American Psychiatric Association. The ongoing pandemic has caused some who has a history
with the Court along with new defendants to be cited with building and health code
violations. The Court is currently working with community partners and leaders to
established wrap around services aimed at preventing recidivism, evictions and possible
demolishing of properties. The goal of the Court is not punitive but restorative justice for the
individual and community overall.
CORPORATION DOCKET
The Court has established a separate docket for cases where a criminal defendant is a
corporation, LLC, or other business entity that fails to appear in Court after having been
properly served. On this special docket, the entity is ordered to appear and service is sent out
again to the entity's address of record, with courtesy copies sent to individuals associated
with the company. Ultimately, the Court may impose upon a noncompliant defendant a daily
sanction until the entity appears and enters a plea, which the Court can then order converted
to civil judgments. This practice has proven successful in encouraging corporate defendants
to appear in Court to face the charges against them.
COMMUNITY CONTROL
Housing Court has implemented active, aggressive supervision of defendants on term of
community control. Community control (previously known as probation) may be imposed on
defendants who have been convicted of violation of the City's codes. Every defendant on
community control is under the supervision of one of the Court's Housing Specialists. The
defendant must bring and keep up to code all of the properties owned by the defendant in the
City of Cleveland-not just the property for which the defendant was originally cited. The
Specialist, as Community Control Officer, meets with the defendant to address the
defendant's progress and compliance. If the defendant fails to make reasonable progress or
otherwise obey the Community Control Officer, the Court may re-summon the defendant and
impose greater sanctions, including additional fines and jail time. When the properties are
up to code, the Specialist's efforts shift to prevention and prohibiting re-offending.
PLACARDS
For residents of Cleveland's neighborhoods, information is power. Where vacant and
abandoned premises are the subject of a pending Housing Court case, the Court may post a
placard indicating that there is no trespassing allowed. The placard also includes contact
information for the owner, bank or lending institution if the property is in foreclosure, and
the Housing Specialist assigned to the case. These placards put neighborhood residents on
notice that the property is the subject of an action in the Housing Court, and give the
residents the ability to contact individuals or entities in control of the property to voice their
concerns.
SEARCH WARRANTS
A search warrant is an order signed by the Judge that authorizes officials from the City of
Cleveland, Departments of Public Health, Building and Housing, Public Safety, Aging and
any other agency from of the City of Cleveland deemed necessary to enter in the daytime into
specifically addressed vacant premises to search and inspect the premises, including exterior
and interior, for violations of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Cleveland, and for
conditions which are, or may become, hazardous to the general public and which may be
violations of Building, Housing, Health, Fire, and Safety Codes of the City of Cleveland. In a
continued effort to properly assess vacant residential and commercial properties, the Court
signed off on hundreds of search warrant requests annually.
BAILIFF COMMUNICATION
The Housing Court's bailiffs are the eyes and ears of the Court in the field. When supervising
court-ordered move outs or serving court papers, the bailiffs often observe conditions that
cause concern. The bailiffs may file a communication with the Court regarding the condition
of any property before the Court. That communication is reviewed by the Judge, who may
order inspection of the property by the City and the correction of defective conditions prior to
re-rental
ZOOM KIOSKS
Combating the digital divide amongst residents, keeping them connected and enabling them
to participate in all areas of their hearings, Housing Court created 3 zoom kiosks. Zoom
kiosks are rooms with computer equipment that is individualized, sanitized and safe.
Participants are assisted by staff with accessing their Zoom hearings and submitting
documents to the Court. Housing Court's Zoom kiosks are the Court's continued innovative
efforts to keep the public virtually connected and safe during a pandemic. Currently the
Court is working with City partners to expand more Zoom kiosks further out into the
Cleveland communities broadening the Court's reach and increasing even more defendant/
tenant participation.
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
In addition to the numerous community meetings that the Housing Court hosts or
participates in each year, the Court has created more than fifty fliers, pamphlets, and videos
available to the public, covering topics from hiring a contractor, nuisance abatement, trash
collections, lead abatement, porch repair, and mediation. The Court makes these materials
available at its Housing Clinic, as well as through its website. These materials enable the
Court to expand its educational goal beyond the four walls of the courtroom or meeting place.

Mission Statement
To cause a full, complete, fair, and impartial investigation to be made of each citizen complaint
filed with the Office of Professional Standards against an officer or employee of the Cleveland
Division of Police; to prepare and submit a completed report of the investigation resulting from
a citizen complaint to the Civilian Police Review Board for its review and disposition.
Citizen complaints may be filed in person at the Office of Professionals Standards (OPS), at
the Cleveland Division of Police (CDP) Headquarters, any of the five CDP District Stations,
the Mayor's Action Center (MAC) or Director of Public Safety's Action Center (DAC), or by
mail or e-mail to OPS. All citizen complaints are assigned a file tracking number and then
assigned to a civilian investigator.
Once a file tracking number is designated and the complaint is assigned to a civilian
investigator, a preliminary investigation is conducted. If during the preliminary
investigation it is determined that potential criminal conduct or activity may have occurred,
then OPS refers the investigation to the Internal Affairs Unit of CDP. If there is no alleged
criminal conduct or activity, then OPS will continue the investigation. During the course of
the investigation, the citizen and any potential witnesses are interviewed, the assignment
and duty reports of the officer(s) involved, as well as all relevant documentation is reviewed,
and the officer(s) responds to the allegations.
At the conclusion of the investigation, it is reviewed and approved by the OPS Administrator,
who then forwards it to the Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB). The CPRB reviews all
completed investigations conducted by OPS, deliberates, and then determines if a civil
violation of policy, training, or rules and regulations occurred. If the CPRB determines that a
violation did occur, then it sustains the complaint and accordingly recommends the
appropriate discipline to either the Chief of Police or the Director of Public Safety.
ACTIVITIES: Present the complete investigations to the Civilian Police Review Board
(CPRB) for hearing and disposition.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Community Police Commission is to respond to community needs and
concerns regarding regulation of the City's police force and community-police relations, by
strengthening civilian oversight to hold police accountable and institutionalizing cultural
change with respect to community and problem-oriented policing, bias free policing, and police
transparency.
Initiated by the Consent Decree, the Community Police Commission (CPC) understands that
realizing success and legitimacy in the eyes of the public means that its work must be
independent, collaborative, and transparent, and its decision-making informed by best
practices and community perspectives. As a result, by way of Issue 24, voters of the City of
Cleveland established a new CPC as an independent municipal commission.

the CPC is to consist of 13 persons broadly representative of the racial, social, economic, and
cultural interests of the community, including those of the racial-minority, immigrant/
refugee, LGBTQ+, youth, faith, business, and other communities, to reflect the overall
demographics of Cleveland residents.
In April 2022, Mayor Bibb and City Council launched their search to select members of the
new CPC. On October 26, 2022, after an unprecedented and rigorous selection process, Mayor
Bibb announced 13 nominees for the new CPC. On December 5, 2022, City Council voted to
approve of the Mayor's nominees and the commissioners were thereby appointed to two and
four year terms. Pursuant to the Charter, the duties of the CPC include but is not limited to:
Serve as the final City authority on whether discipline of police officers imposed, or
not imposed, is sufficient
Have the final authority over establishing the policies, applications, and
examinations by which new police recruits must be sought out, recruited, and
screened;

Mission Statement
The mission of the newly created Division of Health Equity and Social Justice will be to improve
the health outcomes and the overall quality of life for our most disadvantaged populations in
order to create thriving neighborhoods and a thriving city.
The City of Cleveland believes that social justice serves as the lens through which we must
examine the quality of health and well-being of those who have been impacted the most by
systemic challenges that serve as chronic impediments to growth and success. The root
causes of many health threats are notably linked to the social determinants of health and the
overall conditions that shape a person's opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential
regardless of race, ethnicity, social/economic status, etc. Improving health outcomes and the
overall quality of life are essential steps in creating thriving neighborhoods and a thriving
city.
A critical part of ensuring that all people are able to attain positive health outcomes is to
identify and eliminate the patterns of systematic disadvantage that thwart the well-being of
marginalized populations. Such an effort requires a strategic and comprehensive
methodology. The magnitude and the intricate nature of this type of endeavor warrants the
development of the appropriate infrastructure required to create, advance and sustain the
complex, fundamental changes that are required to ensure all City of Cleveland residents are
able to thrive and live quality lives. Recognizing this created a new organizational structure
specifically designed to support the advancement of this effort-the Division of Health Equity
and Social Justice, a division within the Cleveland Department of Public Health.
The key priorities that will be advanced through this new Division will include, but are not
limited to, the following:
ACTIVITIES: Provide counseling and prevention activities for adults, youth, individuals,
families and groups in the area of alcoholism and substance use. Promote
initiatives that address mental health and wellbeing.
ACTIVITIES: Inform and educate citizens and professionals about significant minority
health and health care issues. Provide technical assistance for program;
planning and evaluation related to minority health issues. Monitor and
report the health status and outcomes of minority clevelanders. Coordinates
of community health efforts affecting cleveland minority populations. Leads

Mission Statement
To reduce public health hazards resulting from refuse dumping in City of Cleveland
neighborhoods by providing collection and appropriate disposal of residential, commercial,
recyclables and city owned public Street waste receptacles for the citizens of the City of
Cleveland. The division of Waste Collection and Disposal division is committed to providing an
efficient collection and disposal service. The City currently provides service to approximately
152,000 dwelling units on a weekly basis. The waste collection process includes residential
waste, recycling, bulk items, tires, receptacles, and dead animal collection.
In 2016 the City completed the delivery of roll-carts for automated collection service. This
service was first born as a Pilot Program that begun in 2008 and started with 15,000
Cleveland residents.
The new system was implemented to encourage curbside recycling and increase efficiency.
City residents received a black roll-cart for trash and a blue recycling for recycling that can
be wheeled to the curb for collection. The new program is now City wide.
The City of Cleveland annually disposes of approximately 230,000 tons of municipal solid
waste from residential collection. The majority of the municipal solid waste is processed at
the City's Ridge Road Transfer Station, where it is then loaded onto contracted trailers and
then shipped to a landfill. The transfer station has a Capacity of 3,000 tons per day. All
construction and demolition debris is disposed of via the use of privately owned landfills, and
Transfer Stations, or Processing Facilities. The City owned transfer station also accepts
waste from local private haulers for a fee.
In addition to providing residential waste collection service, the Division of Waste Collection
also offers alternative disposal via the Commercial waste and recycling Collection service
program. The Commercial Collection service provides both permanent and temporary
dumpster rental services to city residents, local businesses and City facilities, located within
the Cleveland area. Our commercial waste and recycling services are offered at a competitive
rate.
If the City had to close the Ridge Road Transfer Station, the current final closure, post-
closure, and/or corrective measures cost estimates and any other environmental obligations
would cost the City $111,812 and would be paid for by the Waste Collection and Disposal
operating budget.
ACTIVITIES: Provide weekly collection of solid waste and recyclables, conduct on-site
inspections concerning appearance of areas served, provide bulk by
appointment and once a month collection of bulk items.
ACTIVITIES: Transfer operations, once the municipal solid waste and recycling is
delivered to the transferred the trash is sent to the landfill and the recycling
is sent to our processor where they sort and market the materials. The
Transfer station also provides drop-off sites for residential tires and
recycling.
ACTIVITIES: Provides roll-off boxes for clean ups and special events in neighborhoods and
downtown. The Ancillary Division also provides waste collection to the West
Side Market, downtown streets and parks and all municipal buildings as
well as repair, replace and service outdoor waste receptacles. The Ancillary
Division also provides waste container rental through commercial waste
collection service, provide distribution and maintenance of roll carts as well
as collection of dead animal, document shedding, staffing of the electronics
and household hazardous waste drop-off sites. Our Ancillary Division also
preforms annual inspection on all private haulers equipment operating
within the City of Cleveland.

Mission Statement
To provide a reliable supply of high quality water and customer services to promote public
health and safety, economy, and quality of life of Greater Cleveland.
The Division of Water (CWD) was created in 1853 and charged with the responsibility of
taking in and treating lake water, pumping and distributing potable water and providing
related water services to customers within its service areas.
The Division of Water operates a major public water supply system, which services not only
the City of Cleveland, but also approximately 79 suburban municipalities in Cuyahoga,
Geauga, Lake, Medina, Portage, and Summit counties. The present service area covers
about 680 square miles of which 593 square miles are for core services while 87 square miles
are provisional emergency feed areas. CWD serves more than 1.4 million people. The City is
empowered to establish rates and collect charges for the service provided by its Water
Division, to acquire property and construct facilities to provide water services throughout the
greater Cleveland service area and to perform other necessary functions with respect to the
operation and maintenance of the water works system. The Division of Water is a self-
supporting regional utility.
The Division of Water draws raw water from four intake tunnels in Lake Erie, chemically
treats and disinfects the water, passes it through mixing and settling basins and then sand
and gravel filters so that it becomes potable, and pumps it into reservoirs, storage towers,
tanks and distribution lines. These services are provided to all of greater Cleveland, with
approximately 50% of the water to industrial and commercial users and the remaining 50%
to residential users.
The Division of Water maintains and operates four treatment plants, five major pumping
stations, eleven secondary pumping stations, twenty one storage facilities, and about 5,200
miles of water mains in four different pressure zones which are determined by elevation
above and distance away from the lake. The City of Cleveland has recognized that a viable
public water supply system is essential to the social and economic growth of a metropolitan
city. If the City and surrounding areas are to grow it is necessary for the area to have an
adequate, economical and sustainable public water supply.
ACTIVITIES: Utilize engineering staff to design and undertake capital projects. Continue
a multi-year, ongoing Capital Improvement Program to sustain aging
infrastructure.
ACTIVITIES: Take in and treat lake water, pump and distribute potable water. Install
and read meters to determine customer usage. Make service calls for system
maintenance.

This fund group provides services to other City Divisions. Their operations are
supported by charges to user Divisions.
Internal Service Funds (ISFs) in the City of Cleveland are meant to provide internal support
Internal Service Funds Defined
functions for divisions within the city. The City's ISFs were created to realize the following
benefits:
• Cost Control serves as a means to manage expenses. For example, having a motor
vehicle repair shop is cheaper than outsourcing vehicle repairs whenever a City
vehicle breaks down.
• Resource Management seeks to effectively and efficiently deploy resources on a
needed basis. For example, how much paper supply is needed to minimize inventory
storage?
• Budget Planning is the method developed for attaining estimated itemized
expenses and income from anticipated sources.
• Capital Plan focuses on resource and expenditure plan to acquire capital assets.
For example, acquiring a new vehicle might require temporarily raising
reimbursement rates to satisfy any financial sources used.
• Financial Transaction Tracking is the process of monitoring and recording
events affecting the business (i.e. knowing how much was spent on outgoing mail)
The City of Cleveland currently has eight different ISFs. Each of the ISFs are tasked with
specific objectives that should satisfy customer needs, resource management and fiscal
management.
Type of ISF Objective
Sinking Fund To assist and monitor debt service activity
Telecommunication Supervises the City’s telephone communications network, equipment, services
and customer services.
Motor Vehicle and Control and supervise the procurement, custody, maintenance repair and
Maintenance assignment for use of all motorized equipment.
Printing Control and supervise the printing, microfilming, Photostatting, blueprinting,
mimeographing or other reproduction of material required for use by any
department or division of the City
Storeroom Properly stamp and mail departments and divisions outgoing mail.
Radio Oversee, monitor and regulate the City’s radio communications system
Health Fund To service health care clams and program costs (Self Insurance)
Prescription Fund To service prescription claims and program costs (Self Insurance)
The City of Cleveland requires ISFs to adequately recover all direct costs associated with
each fund. The different type of direct cost includes; personnel cost, materials and supplies,
service and maintenance contracts.
Revenue reimbursements are monitored monthly, which are used to project ending retained
earnings balance. If projection shows high retained earnings or low retained earnings, a rate
review is instituted, and credits to divisions are planned if needed.
The Division of Printing currently uses the computer program known as, Franking
Estimating System, when it comes to special order work. Printing the budget book would be
considered a special order. The Franklin Estimating System usually gives the minimum
selling rates based on average production costs gathered from efficiently run plants in the
United States. The division then compares their internal rate with the result of the Franklin
system, which should be equal or lower.
The Division of Printing charges $0.025 for each photocopy printed (copier meter charges).
The rate covers administrative, maintenance, and contractual obligations with vendors.
Paper supplies are usually charged based on how many cartons are ordered.
The Division of Printing plans for capital acquisitions by temporary increasing their rates.
This increase helps with building large retained earnings, and thus leading to the capital
acquisition.

The Sinking Fund is the bond retirement fund of the City and its operations are governed by
the Ohio Revised Code, the City Charter and the General Bond Ordinance. The Sinking
Fund Commission consists of the Mayor, Director of Finance, and City Council President. An
Assistant Secretary is appointed by the members to conduct the business of the Sinking Fund
Commission. The Sinking Fund Commission is responsible for the issuance and payment of
all City debt including general obligation bonds, special revenue bonds, certificates of
participation, non-tax revenue bonds and tax increment financing debt.
The Sinking Fund Commission acts as the citywide coordinator for all debt issuance and
monitoring activities. This includes the sale of all general obligation, special obligation and
enterprise (revenue) bonds and notes. In addition the Commission deposits on behalf of itself
and the Enterprise Funds any moneys to be applied to the payment of debt charges. This
includes money and investments derived from ad valorem property taxes, income tax
collections, enterprise reimbursements, non-tax revenues and the proceeds of renewal bonds
or notes. The Commission maintains and reconciles all bank accounts for General Obligation,
Special Obligation and Enterprise (Proprietary) Obligations of the City. In addition, the
Commission ensures that all debt issued by the City falls within the State’s legal debt limits
and that, in most cases, bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds achieve a minimum 3%
debt service savings level. If permitted by the authorizing ordinance, bonds can also be
refunded in order to eliminate or modify unduly restrictive covenants or to obtain a more
favorable debt structure.
The City issues its general obligation bonds in connection with its overall Capital
Improvement Program. Projects that have benefited from the issuance of general obligation
