Downtown Cleveland,Shore To Core Tif,Department Of Finance

After a breezy two-and-a-half years with the Bibb administration, Ahmed Abonamah, its director of finance since 2022, announced his resignation over the weekend.

Besides a recap of Abonamah's accomplishments during his tenure, and plans to install assistant finance director Jim Hartley come July 19, a press release from City Hall did not elaborate on Abonamah's reasons for the abrupt exit.

He went on:"Since Mayor Bibb’s inauguration, the city's financial condition has steadily improved as evidenced by consecutive structurally balanced budgets, the City’s first merit-based credit rating upgrades in decades, and record cash reserve levels."," and therefore nothing controversial. The time was right for a"compelling opportunity," he said, though he didn't elaborate further.

He helped oversee the spending of Cleveland's $512 million of American Rescue Plan Act dollars, aided Cleveland police in navigating a transition to 12-hour shifts and delved, most recently, into lakefront plans and the future of Cleveland Browns Stadium.
