Council introduced Ordinance 2025‑64 on June 17, which would repeal Chapter 559 of the North Olmsted Codified Ordinances, titled “Alarm Systems.”

The committee voted 3‑0 to recommend consideration of the repeal. The ordinance was introduced and placed on first reading; no final vote on Ordinance 2025‑64 occurred during the meeting.
