Findlay City Council adopted Resolution 22-2025, updating the city's hazard mitigation plan and declaring it an emergency during a special session called at 4:30. Council members suspended statutory rules to allow a third reading and then voted to adopt the resolution unanimously.
The resolution authorizes the mayor of the City of Findlay to adopt the updated hazard mitigation plan "as the official plan for the city of Findlay, Ohio as a guide to reduce risks to citizens and property," and was presented to council as a second-reading item before the rules suspension. "There will also not be any communications other than related to the resolution," the presiding officer said when opening the special session.
Council member Mister Palmer moved to suspend Council's statutory rules and give the resolution its third reading; Miss Wernicke seconded that motion. The motion to suspend the rules carried with all members present voting in the affirmative. Mister Palmer then moved to adopt Resolution 22-2025; Mister DeArmond seconded. The adoption vote was unanimous among members who answered roll call.
There was no substantive discussion on the content of the plan during the special session; the presiding officer asked if there was discussion, and none was offered. After the vote the presiding officer noted there was no other business for the special session, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded, and the meeting was adjourned.
The council did not record any amendments to the resolution nor did the transcript include details of the plan's contents, implementation schedule, or funding in this session.
