Council unanimously adopts Ordinance 24‑2025 changing assessment‑appeal rule
Summary
The Village Council voted 6‑0 to suspend further readings and adopt Ordinance 24‑2025, amending Village codified ordinances section 182.17 on assessment appeals based on presumption of delivery; the motion to suspend and the adoption were both moved by Mister Schultmeyer and seconded by Mister Esteb.
The Village of St. Bernard council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 24‑2025, an amendment to the village codified ordinances dealing with assessment appeals and presumption of delivery, and declared the ordinance an emergency.
Clerk read the ordinance on first reading: “Ordinance amending the village of Saint Bernard codified ordinances section 182.17 regarding the assessment appeal based on presumption of delivery and declaring an emergency,” after which Councilman Schultmeyer (S10) moved to suspend the second and third readings. Councilman Esteb (S8) seconded the motion. The clerk conducted a roll‑call vote and recorded six ayes, no nays; the motion to suspend carried.
Schultmeyer then moved to adopt Ordinance 24‑2025, again seconded by Esteb. The clerk called the roll for adoption and recorded six ayes, and the council announced the ordinance was adopted as read.
The ordinance text as read refers to amendments to section 182.17 concerning assessment‑appeal procedures based on presumption of delivery; the clerk’s reading did not include further explanatory material about how the procedural change will operate in practice. Council members did not request additional discussion on the floor after the reading and the emergency adoption was approved by voice/roll call votes.
