Twinsburg council adopts renewal for liability and property insurance as emergency

Twinsburg City Council voted 6-0 May 27 to adopt Ordinance 54-2025 as an emergency measure, authorizing the mayor to renew the city's liability and property insurance through Love Insurance Agency and the Ohio Plan.

Council President Post moved to suspend the three-reading rule so the renewal could proceed; Councilmember Furey seconded. "The reason for the 3 reading rule suspension is to enter into the insurance policy because we don't want the current 1 to expire," Post said before the roll call. Christina Conway, acting clerk pro tem, recorded the unanimous roll call.

The ordinance authorizes a renewal agreement for liability and property insurance and declares the matter an emergency so the mayor can execute the contract without waiting for the typical multi-reading process. The council stated the expedited timeline was to avoid a gap in coverage when the current policy expires; the meeting record did not include the policy's expiration date or premium amounts.

Ordinance 54-2025 passed on the same night the suspension motion passed: the council voted yes — Post, Furey, Bonacci, Walker, Lavey and Barr — with no no votes, abstentions or recusals. The motion to adopt the ordinance as an emergency also passed 6-0.

The mayor is authorized to sign the renewal agreement on the city's behalf. The council did not discuss policy limits, premiums, or insurers' comparative bids during the meeting; those details were not specified on the record.

Council action: suspension of three-reading rule (passed 6-0); adoption of Ordinance 54-2025 as an emergency (passed 6-0).
