Broadview Heights City Council approves temporary budget, averting potential weekslong government shutdown

Council had passed a full budget on Dec. 17, but only by a 4-3 vote, a technicality that could've left residents without essential services until Jan. 16.

Broadview Heights to decide tonight whether all city services are halted for the first 15 days of January

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio – The city may have to shut down all operations for 15 days starting Jan. 1 because City Council – although it passed the 2025 municipal budget last week – did not muster enough votes to make the budget ordinance go into effect immediately.

Why Broadview Heights could be shut down for over 2 weeks

Broadview Heights may be without critical services, including police, fire, human services and snow removal, for over two weeks starting Jan. 1.
