Council introduces resolution condemning antisemitism, amends document to note joint sponsorship
Council considered Resolution 2025-31 on June 4, a statement opposing antisemitism and affirming support for Jewish residents. The resolution was placed on first reading; an amendment to change the documents introductory language so it would be introduced by the council and Mayor Michael Dillon Brennan passed by roll call.

A council member who said she wrote the resolution explained her personal reasons for introducing it and cited recent national events as additional motivation. She described the rise in antisemitic threats and violence and said the resolution was intended to "make a statement before anything else might happen here." The amendment was offered to restore the original authorship to council and the mayor after the text had been modified earlier in the agenda process.

Councilmember Sherry Sachs spoke in support, calling the measure "very meaningful" and saying words mattered when public officials respond to hate. After a motion to amend the resolution, the council voted by roll call on the amendment; the roll showed unanimous support among members voting at that time, and the amended version was read into the record. The clerk noted the item will be on second reading at the next meeting.

The resolution text cites the citys diversity and references Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code for open-meeting compliance. Because the council took only introductory action and an amendment, there was no final adoption vote at the meeting.
