No amendments or recorded abstentions were announced on these items. The meeting then proceeded to first readings on several other ordinances, and later voted to enter executive session under Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(G)(8) to discuss confidential economic‑development applicant information.
The council did not provide additional detail in public session about substantive changes to the adopted ordinances beyond the chapter and section references read on the record; for specifics of text changes, the municipal clerk’s office posts ordinance language with the meeting materials.
