The Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services Advisory Board (DCFS Board) was established by Ohio law as an advisory committee on children services. It can have up to ten members who shall provide independent perspective and feedback to the county and the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services leadership. The DCFS Board also serves as a link between the division and the community it serves. The DCFS Board is advisory in nature only and does not have any decision-making authority over DCFS or the county.

Attending in person? We add two hours of pay ($36) to the assignment. You may need a photo ID. For County Council meetings, complimentary parking for the public is available in the attached garage at 900 Prospect. We do not know if the parking comp applies to meetings of this body, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. If you give it a shot, let us know what happens! A skywalk extends from the garage to provide additional entry to the headquarters from the 5th floor parking level of the garage. For County Council meetings, visitors parking at the 900 Prospect Avenue Garage must use the Metropolis Parking app to receive parking validation from County Council. Downloading the Metropolis app on your smartphone and creating an account is the only way to have parking validated at Council and Committee meetings. Attendees will be required to scan a QR code available only in the C. Ellen Connally Council Chambers. They will then be taken to their Metropolis app or the Metropolis web browser and will be asked to enter their license plate information for the parking to be validated.
