Cuyahoga County Council

Cuyahoga County Administrative Headquarters in Downtown Cleveland, under construction in 2014

The Cuyahoga County Council is the legislative branch of the government of Cuyahoga County in Ohio. Cuyahoga, along with Summit, is one of only two of Ohio's 88 counties not governed by a three-member commission. The council and county executive position were created by means of a charter approved by the county's electorate on November 3, 2009, and became effective January 1, 2011.[1]

The Council meets in the C. Ellen Connally Council Chambers at the Cuyahoga County Administrative Headquarters at 2079 E. 9th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. The chambers are named for C. Ellen Connally, a former Cleveland Municipal Court judge who was elected the county council's first president in 2011.[2]
