CLEVELAND (WJW) — The FOX 8 I-Team on Monday went one-on-one with a top Cleveland Hopkins International Airport official about her take-home city car, since she can use it while living about 70 miles away.

This comes to light in the midst of a firestorm over take-home cars and a citywide review.

Before a council committee meeting, we caught up to Dina Wilson, an airport administrator over operations and human resources.

We recently reported she put 39,000 miles on a city commuter car in 2023. Yet the city has no record of her coming in after hours.

“And, we’re just wondering why you should have a take-home car living so far away,” the I-Team asked.

Wilson responded, “It’s my responsibility to the airport.”

We reminded her, “Now, last year the city said it had no record of you having to come in after hours, or on weekends. So, what responsibility are you referring to?”

She answered, “I’m on 24 hours, 7 days a week, call.”

We continued, “But, if the entire year went by and you never had to come in, how necessary is it?”

Wilson insisted, “It’s very necessary. We’re running an airport.”

City council members have spoken out about the use of city cars, especially given recent headlines.

Last Wednesday, for one example, Councilman Kerry McCormack said, “Fundamentally, I think folks should be using their own car to get from their house to work.”

Last week, the city fired a safety official after she crashed a city car with kids on board.

Not long ago, the safety director resigned after admitting he had driven with his son in a city car.

Those incidents led the mayor’s office to begin an overall review of take-home cars.

So we also asked Wilson about car seats in another airport manager’s city car. She said, “We address things as they become presented.”

We then asked, “How was that addressed?”

Wilson said, “I am not getting into specifics of that.”

There are still many more questions. A month-and-a-half ago, we asked for a complete list of employees with take-home cars and their job titles. We also asked for a list of any city cars taken away in 2023 from anyone — and why. We have not yet gotten anything back on these questions.

Wilson’s take-home car approval form shows a boss signed it. But spots for two other officials to sign are blank. Wilson also responded to that.

“I’m not doing anything outside of policy. I’m following the policy,” she said.

Wilson told us a week ago she went to the airport on a Saturday after a small plane caught fire.

But again, no records show she came in last year while driving the take-home car.

The I-Team said, “You basically have a great perk if you never have to come to the airport.”

Another city employee pulled Wilson away, and her final words were, “I’m all done.”
