Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish Submits Robust Legislation to Make Contracting More Fair and Equitable
In 2013, Cuyahoga County contracted with two firms to collect and analyze statistical and anecdotal data in order to determine whether or not disparity exists within the County procurement policies and systems. The County recently released the findings from the Study which revealed that there is disparity between the number of available Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MBE/WBEs) and the number of those firms that have been awarded contracts from the County.
“One of our top priorities is Fairness and Equity and we recognize the need to take robust action to ensure that there is an inclusive process where everyone can have an opportunity to do business with the County,” said Budish. “We believe that small businesses and minority and women owned businesses, should have a fair shot at competing for County business, and that our workforce should be diverse.”
“The proposed legislative reforms and administrative actions are a step in the right direction. I commend County Executive Budish and members of the County Council for their actions to help ensure full participation of women and minority-owned enterprises in the economic growth of our region,” said Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11).
While the results from the Disparity Study do not provide a legal basis for specific quotas, the Budish Administration is submitting the following legislation to council:
•An expansion of the County’s current SBE program to set aspirational Minority Business Enterprise and Women Business Enterprise subcontractor participation goals for every bid or proposal issued by the County; and requiring good faith efforts to meet said goals. MBE/WBEs bidding as prime contractors can also get participation credit.
•Elimination of the need for
performance bonds for qualified contractors for jobs under $250,000, and segmenting bigger projects into smaller projects.
•The establishment of Small Business Set Asides for certain projects.
•Allowing companies with a demonstrated commitment to utilizing MBE/WBEs as subcontractors and/or a diverse workforce within the past 2 years to receive a bid preference.
•Adopting a Council Resolution authorizing the County Executive to sign on to the Cleveland Community Benefits Agreement.
In addition, Executive Budish will adopt the following administrative actions:
•Releasing an executive order requiring speedy pay from a Prime Contractor to their Sub-contractors.
•Utilizing pre-bid conferences to encourage broader participation.
•Appointing an Inclusion Officer
to monitor, track and enforce these initiatives.
“What the County Executive and Council are proposing here will make a difference in the lives of many of our small/minority and female owned businesses,” said Lonnie Coleman, President, Coleman Spohn Corporation. “I truly appreciate the efforts to make our County better for all of its citizens.”
“I am pleased with the direction that the County Executive and his Administration are heading in respect to these changes,” said Eddie Taylor, President, Taylor Oswald, and Co-Chair of the Commission on Economic Inclusion. “They are positive ones for our community and I believe that with participation from our business community and with appropriate enforcement that this legislation can create real change for minority and women-owned enterprises.”
Cleveland Museum of Natural History Unveils BoldNew Designs for Campus Reinvention
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is moving forward with the first phase of its bold and innovative plan to renovate and expand its campus in Cleveland’s University Circle as part of its Centennial Campaign. The Museum’s Board of Trustees has approved schematic designs created in collaboration by a leading team of architects, engineers, green building experts and exhibit designers that realize the ambitious vision for the future Museum. The new Museum will more fully integrate science and nature into the visitor experience, and pioneer new approaches for infusing real science into science education. The building itself will be a model of sustainable building technology. New exhibition galleries will showcase the world-renowned scientific research of Museum curators and highlight the Museum’s vast collections to create a powerful and engaging experience that inspires students and people of all ages to dive into science, connect with nature and explore the natural world.
The $150 million renovation and expansion project will transform and reinvent the Museum by 2020—100 years after the institution was founded. Construction will begin in March on a new outdoor Perkins Wildlife Center—one of the most popular of the Museum’s
exhibits and home to the Museum’s live Ohio animals and native plants. In the coming year, Phase I will also include the construction of several key visitor amenities, including a parking garage with 300 spaces on three levels and a landscaped west garden that will serve as a gateway to the University Circle cultural district from Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
“The amazing treasures held within our Museum and our mission to improve science education compel us to undertake this major transformation of our facilities and exhibits,” said Dr. Evalyn Gates, executive director and CEO. “We are thrilled to launch the project this spring and begin realizing our plans for creating a dynamic new Museum that will play a critical role in building for the future of our community. Our staff, campaign leadership team and project architects, engineers and designers have worked together to craft plans that will strengthen our education programs, support and showcase the important work of our researchers, and offer the community immersive spaces for lifelong learning.”
Through the experience and creativity of the project team, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History of the future will be an extraordinary
place for discovery that is worthy of the outstanding science education and groundbreaking scientific research that the Museum has conducted for nearly a century. The project team was assembled in its entirety earlier in the schematic design process than is conventional with major capital projects. Gates and the Board of Trustees believed that allowing the design of exhibits and galleries to inform the building’s architecture and incorporating long-term sustainability into the design process from the beginning would produce a truly innovative, highly efficient and revolutionary building that will successfully achieve the overall vision of the Museum.
After nearly a year of working together, the project team’s work has touched every part of the Museum’s campus and every aspect of the visitor experience. The resulting integrated design approach has deeply influenced the schematic designs. The renovated and expanded building will house a unique integration of the labs, collections and research into the public galleries to showcase the Museum’s world-renowned assets and the discoveries behind them. An expanded number of smart, flexible classroom spaces that the Museum is calling “science studios” will be located within the exhibit galleries and adjacent
to the research areas, giving students a view into the labs and collections. The Museum’s living collections will be incorporated into galleries that offer visitors transformational interactions with the natural world. Each aspect of the design and engineering is being developed with the goal of creating a new model for sustainable building and energy management in the museum field, and one that is visible to the public as an exhibit unto itself.
The Museum entry strikes a captivating presence, inviting visitors inside from Wade Oval to a beautiful, two-story glass lobby flanking the existing brilliant, titanium-coated stainless steel Shafran Planetarium structure.
“Perhaps one of the most engaging features of the building design is the large window facing Wade Oval side that will offer views into the dinosaur hall giving visitors to University Circle a glimpse of the giant prehistoric creatures that roamed the Earth over 65 million years ago,” said Gates. “We are literally creating a window into science - and inviting everyone to join in the adventure of exploration and discovery.”

Metroparks Swear-In New Patrol and Explosives Canine Officer, TysonThe newest addition to Cleveland
Metroparks Ranger Department K-9 Unit was sworn-in this morning. Tyson, Cleveland Metroparks newest Patrol and Explosives Canine Officer, was sworn-in alongside his partner, Ranger Trevor C. Poole at the Board of Park Commissioners meeting.
Tyson, an eleven-week-old German Shepherd, is the newest canine addition to Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department’s K-9 Unit. Tyson will serve as a dual-purpose patrol and explosives detection dog, joining K-9 officers Chase, Rico and Logan, and their handlers Rangers Will Collins, Mike Barr, and Sgt. Tim
Garris in patrolling the more than 23,000-acre Park District.
The addition of Tyson allows for proactive protection measures at Cleveland Metroparks busiest park activities. Explosives detection canines have become a common sight at large sporting events, concerts, popular area destinations and at other large-scale events. They are becoming part of a new direction in law enforcement. Five Ohio Universities recently received bomb-sniffing dogs as officials expand a state program that makes more of those canines available for safety needs on and off campuses.
The University of Toledo, Kent State University, Ohio University and Central State University, each received a dog trained to detect explosives. A dog for Cleveland State University received extra training to be part of general patrol operations, according to Ohio Homeland Security.
Canines trained in explosives detection offer an added layer of public security and serve as an important bridge to interact with the public in a positive manner. Additionally, explosives detection canines offer a safe resolution should a bomb threat occur, allowing for a quick return to normal business
operations.Other agencies that
have canines trained in explosives detection near Cleveland Metroparks include the Regional Transit Authority (RTA), the Shaker Heights and Cleveland Police Departments, and the University of Akron.
Tyson’s handler is Ranger Trevor C. Poole, who has been with the Ranger Department since 2014. Ranger Poole is a 2007 graduate of Youngstown State University, where he also completed his basic Police Academy Training, as an Ohio Certified Peace Officer.

Road Trip! Destination: Dayton, Ohio If you were born after the Airline
Deregulation Act of 1978, you missed the heyday of airline travel. When people dressed up to fly and stewardesses (not flight attendants) served hot meals on china and free drinks in real glassware.
When you could stretch your legs out in front of your seat. When you felt like a millionaire as you boarded, because hefty ticket prices made airline travel a rare treat for most people.
Nowadays, you can get a cheap flight, but it comes complete with cattle-call
boarding and jockeying for seats with people dressed in sweats or worse and carrying greasy bags of fast food.
The thrill is gone.Still, air travel is an amazing feat of
human ingenuity and engineering worth exploring. It remains one of the safest forms of transportation. This, despite the fact that you’re streaking through the atmosphere at 35,000 feet above the earth, at 500-plus miles an hour, in a 250-foot-long aluminum tube.
Paying homage to the fascinating
history of aviation is as simple as crossing the border into Ohio, which Congress has affirmed as the birthplace of aviation.
Although Wilbur and Orville Wright started it all with a 1903 test flight at Kitty Hawk hill on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Dayton is the Wright brothers’ hometown. They made their flight plans in Dayton and constructed the plane in their bicycle shop there. The city contains 14 aviation attractions and sites.
Bringing air travel into the space age, NASA’s website lists 29 Ohio astronauts,
including John Glenn, Neil Armstrong and Guion Bluford Jr., the first African American in space.
Many aviation-theme attractions are just a few hours’ drive from the Western Pennsylvania border. For a full list throughout Ohio, visit discoverohio.com.
West G Grads Head Women’s Museum at Burke AirportOn Dec. 17, 1903, brothers Orville
and Wilbur Wright of Dayton, Ohio, made history when they managed to pull off the first successful airplane flight over a wind-swept beach in North Carolina — in a plane that took them several years to perfect.
While the brothers rose to fame, many people don’t know their sister, Katharine Wright, is credited with much of their success.
Katharine, who shared a close bond with her brothers and whose outgoing and charming personality was a sharp contrast to their introverted natures, managed and supported nearly every aspect of
the brothers’ careers, including contracts, insurance and public appearances.
A glimpse into Katharine’s colorful life can be found in a new exhibit at the International Women’s Air and Space Museum in the terminal of Cleveland’s Burke Lakefront Airport.
“She handled a lot of things behind the scenes,” said West Geauga Schools graduate Heather Alexander, the museum’s executive director. “We have a wide variety of things of hers including the dress she wore when meeting president Taft.”
Alexander and her two fellow
museum administrators, Operations Manager Katie Brinager and Collection Spec-ialist Mike Sharaba, also West Geauga graduates, are hoping to attract more people to the IWASM.
“We’re a small museum” Brinager said. “Not a lot of people know we’re here.”
Despite its small size, the IWASM, which has been at its current location since 1998, hosts several special events and programs throughout the year.
“We do all sorts of kids programs and tours,” Brinager said.
The museum also hosts several “Family Days” with activities for all ages and “Dinner with a Slice of History” events featuring guest speakers.
“We are the only museum of its kind in the world,” Alexander said. “There’s none like us. We’re the only ones that have collections on any woman that is involved in aviation or aerospace in any way.”
Because it’s located in a public building, daily admission to the museum is free, though people can purchase a membership to support operations and receive discounted prices on events.
Alexander, a 1989 West Geauga graduate, has worked for the museum in various capacities for 14 years. With the help of Brinager and Sharaba, both 2005 West Geauga graduates, many positive changes have been made.
“We’ve done some expansions, changed some programs and brought new people in to help,” Alexander said.
Sharaba said the museum staff strives to keep up with current events, keeping exhibits in tune with what’s happening locally and globally.
Though exhibit items come from a variety of sources, many have been treasures sitting in someone’s basement or attic.
“A lot of our items come from people who have the pieces in their family and are looking for a home for them,” Sharaba said.
While newer exhibits, such as that of Katharine, are draws, fixtures such as the Amelia Earhart exhibit remain popular.
“We have a lot of items donated by her sister,” Alexander said. “(Earhart) actually was a nurse and designed her own nurses outfit. We also have the overalls she wore when she was working on planes as well as letters and photos.”
On exhibit are items from Women Air Force Service Pilots, aka WASPS. That collection includes flight jackets, goggles, helmets, log books, training notes and a gold Congressional Medal of Honor to the WASPS from President Barrack Obama.
New to the museum in 2016 will be a model of the plane flown by Margaret Hurlburt, a teacher at Harvey High School in Painesville and a WASP during World War II.
Another new exhibit will be that of Ruby Sheldon, the first female pilot to fly for the National Geological Society.
“She had an interesting job,” Alexander said. “They were doing research on an iceburg off the coast of Alaska and she flew supplies there. It was a dangerous job.”
Alexander, Brinager and Sharaba encourage people to come take a look at the positive changes the museum has made.
“There are over 6,000 women in our collection,” Alexander said. “When people visit, they are often surprised that we have so much.”
The IWASM is located in Room 165 of Burke Lakefront Airport. For more information on hours and events, call 216-623-1111 or visit www.iwasm.org.

Body contouring: Show off the new you.
Even though there’s a chill in the air, it’s not too early to start thinking about sunny summer days. Don’t let your body hinder you from doing the things you enjoy because of discomfort or embarrassment.
Often, those who have lost a signicant amount of weight, through bariatric surgery or diet and exercise, are left with a reminder of their former self – excess skin.
“Body contouring is done after weight loss to prevent rashes, discomfort and chang. It’s not just cosmetic,” says Raymond Isakov, MD, a plastic surgeon at Cleveland Clinic Beachwood Family Health and Surgery Center. Dr. Isakov discuses different areas of the body where
body contouring may help.
• Abdomen: Extra skin can be removed and muscles tightened with abdominoplasty. This makes the entire stomach area look better and tighter.
• Thighs: A plastic surgeon can remove extra skin on thighs – depending on how heavy the thigh still is and the anatomic location of the skin, Dr. Isakov says.
• Chest: Men and women may require breast surgery to remove extra skin from the chest. “For women, the procedure is similar to a breast lift. For men, the plastic surgeon performs a gynecomastia (male breast reduction procedure),” explains Dr. Isakov.
• Upper arms: Patients often complain of deated arms that resemble a batwing. Removing excess skin from the armpit to the elbow gives the upper arms their shape back.
• Face: Stretched out skin along the neck and jawline can be removed to reveal a more healthy and youthful appearance.
Body contouring isn’t just for those who have lost weight; it’s a good way to get rid of unwanted bumps and bulges. “It can help eliminate imperfections that diet and exercise can’t,” says Dr. Isakov.
To make an appointment with Dr. Isakov or another Cleveland Clinic plastic surgeon, contact the Cleveland Clinic Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Center at 216.444.4004. Cleveland Clinic offers same-day appointments.
