City of Euclid

What City of Euclid does

The City of Euclid, Ohio is a municipal corporation and the 13th-largest municipality in the State of Ohio, located in Cuyahoga County along the Lake Erie shoreline and operating under a mayor-council form of government led by Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of public services to residents, businesses, and visitors through departments including Police, Fire, Planning and Development, Public Service, Building and Housing, Finance, Law, and Senior Programs. The city provides public safety, permitting (residential, commercial, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire hydrant use), infrastructure management (a 25-mile combined sewer system, 17 permitted CSO structures, and a wastewater treatment plant), recreation (C.E. Orr Ice Arena, Recreation and Wellness Center, pools, Briardale Greens Golf Course), cultural programming (Shore Cultural Centre, ECTV), and animal care through Euclid Pet Pals. Its core physical technology base is municipal infrastructure rather than software; water service is supplied externally by Cleveland Water Division.

Euclid's revenue model is municipal: it is funded by property taxes, city income tax, and a mix of federal grants (notably Community Development Block Grant funding of $990,169 for FY 2026), permit and service fees, and partnership-driven capital project funding. The city administers a substantive portfolio of community development and economic development programs through the Community Improvement Corporation of Euclid (ECIC), including the Open Door Euclid housing rehabilitation program, the Storefront Renovation Program (50% rebate up to $25,000), the Heritage Park Home Repair Grant Program (up to $7,500), Community Reinvestment Area tax abatements, and the Euclid Small Business Academy. Major capital projects include the $18M+ Euclid Waterfront Improvement Plan, the Downtown Euclid Transportation and Redevelopment Plan (~$14M invested since 2007), the Sims Park Reimagined Master Plan, and the Senator Kenny Yuko Park project. Euclid operates analogous to a public utility with universal service obligations, and its customer base is essentially the entire residential and commercial population within city limits (including a 16% senior demographic segment, single-family homeowners, small businesses up to 10 employees, and commercial-retail building owners).
