Evendale council adopts five emergency ordinances in one meeting
Summary
The council suspended readings and adopted emergency clauses for ordinances 25-62 through 25-66 covering contract payments, a contingency transfer, dental benefits for employees, pool water-feature repairs and related items; most passed unanimously, with ordinance 25-64 recorded 6–1.
At the meeting the council moved to read multiple ordinances by title, suspend further readings, adopt emergency clauses and adopt the measures on the same night.
Ordinance 25-62 authorized payment of amounts due on certain contracts, required certification of fund availability and was declared an emergency and adopted. The mayor referred to it informally as a ‘‘then and now’’ ordinance.
Ordinance 25-63 approved a transfer from the contingency fund to the administrative department, declared an emergency and was adopted.
Ordinance 25-64 approved an agreement with Superior Dental Care to provide dental benefits for full-time village employees, was considered an emergency and adopted. Mister Patterson recorded the lone recorded “No” vote on this ordinance; the council declared it adopted as an emergency.
Ordinance 25-65 was read, emergency clause adopted and the ordinance was adopted as an emergency.
Ordinance 25-66 amended the title and authorized the mayor to enter into a specified agreement (water-feature work for the pool); the council suspended the readings, adopted the emergency clause and declared it adopted as an emergency. The mayor said worn water-feature components will be replaced and installed before the next swimming season.
Vote records: the measures were adopted as emergency ordinances; the meeting’s roll calls recorded unanimous or near-unanimous assent on each item. The transcript records a single recorded "No" on ordinance 25-64 by Mister Patterson; other recorded responses were affirmative.
