Twinsburg council adopts Summit County MOU as emergency, approves two Darrow Road liquor‑permit motions

Twinsburg City Council on Dec. 2 adopted a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a revised Summit County intergovernmental memorandum of understanding for the direct indictment program and declared the measure an emergency. The motion to adopt the resolution as an emergency was seconded and carried on a roll call vote.

The council also voted on two motions relating to liquor permits for businesses on Darrow Road in the same plaza. Council moved that it "does not oppose" the transfer of an existing liquor permit from Sunner and Sohal to M&D 9224 LLC at the Darrow Road location and authorized the clerk to submit the required form to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control; the motion passed on a roll call vote. Separately, council approved a motion to not oppose a new liquor permit for E & V Smoke Outlet, which is located in the same Darrow Road plaza; council members asked clarifying questions about the location and confirmed the new permit covers a separate entity in the plaza. Both liquor‑related motions were recorded as passing by roll call.

Clerk read multiple ordinances standing on second reading, including the 2026 permanent appropriation ordinance, a proposed cybersecurity policy and an ordinance affirming an annual wage increase for certain full‑time employees; those items were placed on the agenda for subsequent consideration. Council also heard first‑reading items including bids for local construction projects and a one‑year agreement with the city of Stowe for prosecutorial services.

Council recorded the votes on the resolution and liquor motions during the meeting and concluded with routine closing remarks and scheduling.
