Please refer to that document for further information regarding: • 2025 Year-End Permanent Appropriations Ordinance • 2026 Permanent Appropriations Ordinance • 2026 Salary Ordinance • 2025 Year-End Contracting Authority Ordinance • 2026 Contracting Authority Ordinance The 2025 Year-End Permanent Appropriations Ordinance is needed to ensure sufficient funding is authorized at the various levels of budgetary control. Areas were increased to meet the final year-end anticipated expenditure levels or decreased where necessary. There are sufficient revenues for each fund, so no fund will end in a deficit position. The 2026 Permanent Appropriations Ordinance provides the legal levels of budgetary control as required by the Ohio Revised Code for anticipated expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026. The appropriations are determined after a conservative estimate of revenues for the upcoming year are forecasted so there is sufficient funding of anticipated expenses. The 2026 Salary Ordinance estimates the impact of a 27th Pay Period and the unknown effect of the collective bargaining negotiations that will begin at the end of 2025. The Police and Fire Chief positions have been added to this ordinance so that the salary for all non-union positions is captured under one piece of legislation. The positions of Director of Recreation and Director of Senior Life have also been added to Grade F so that all of the Mayor’s Cabinet are under the same category. With the re-opening of the Gemini Center natatorium in 2026, the City is creating Manager Positions to oversee the Coordinator positions. Apart from the Program Coordinator – Aquatics position, which is currently posted, this is a re-titling of existing positions and does not include the hiring of new employees. Finally, with the passage of the updates to Section 143: Employment Provisions there are changes in the language of this ordinance to not create redundancies. The 2025 Contracting Authority Ordinance requests City Council contracting authority for expenditures $15,000 or more for all departments and all funds as required by the Charter of the City of Fairview Park. The Year-end update is needed to increase contracting authority levels in the categories of Advertising, Hardware Supplies, Recreation Services, Supplies & Equipment, 20777 Lorain Road Bill Schneider Fairview Park, Ohio 44126 Mayor 440-333-2200 (City Hall) www.fairviewpark.org Reforestation Services, Supplies & Equipment, Service Department Services, Supplies & Equipment and Office Equipment, Supplies & Services. The 2026 Contracting Authority Ordinance requests City Council contracting authority for expenditures of $15,000 or more for all departments and all funds as required by the Charter of the City of Fairview Park. This will streamline the purchasing process by City Council permitting this authority in one ordinance at the start of the year rather than one ordinance at a time. Any expenditure over $5,000 or more will still go to Board of Control. Any purchase $75,000 or over, or capital purchases of $15,000 or more will continue to come before Council during 2026. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to discussing these further in committee. cc: Mayor Bill Schneider A.

The Recreation Department has determined that membership fees should increase for 2026, due to increasing costs of operations. In setting rates, the Recreation Department is also planning to modernize and simplify membership categories, aligning more with department policy and matching up more with neighboring city recreation centers. The new categories coupled with the rates will help the department close the gap in revenue vs. expenses of operations. In addition to this, there will be breaks for families with children under the age of 6 and with family members that turn 18 and still live in the same household. This is especially important as the pools are coming back online and we should see a large increase in family memberships. The Recreation Department also plans to run a promotion at the start of 2026. Anyone renewing their membership prior to February 28, 2026 will pay their 2025 rate. The exception to this is those in the Once a Member, Always a Member category as 2025 is the last year for this category. 20777 Lorain Road Fairview Park, OH 44126 Mayor Bill Schneider 440-333-2200 (City Hall) www.fairviewpark.org Proposed 2026 Rates: Resident Corporate Non-Resident Household Primary (age 18-59) $150.00 $275.00 $350.00 Household of 2 $275.00 $500.00 $575.00 Additional Household Member $65.00 $75.00 $75.00 Youth Individual (ages 12-17) $100.00 $150.00 $200.00 College (ages 18-23) $125.00 $175.00 $225.00 Senior (ages 60+) $105.00 $170.00 $220.00 Senior Household of 2 (both ages 60+) $200.00 $325.00 $400.00 Active Military Free $75.00 $75.00 Monthly (ages 12+) $25.00 $45.00 $60.00 Membership Definitions Membership Categories Membership Categories are Resident, Corporate and Non-Resident.
