Summary

The committee opened a public hearing on an amended petition to form a Convention District Community Authority, with administration saying notice complied with the Ohio Revised Code; the petition and a legislative resolution setting boundaries, appointments and surety were put on for passage with no roll-call vote recorded.

The Budget & Finance Committee opened a public hearing and placed before the body an amended petition and a legislative resolution to establish the Convention District Community Authority.

Dr. Dutis (administration) introduced the amended petition, saying it establishes the authority under the Ohio Revised Code, identifies participating members and provides a legal description and map for the authority. "This is what establishes that authority under the Ohio Revised Code," Dr. Dutis said.

Solicitor Swim (law) told the chair that the city complied with notice requirements and that the matter was properly before the committee. Solicitor Swim described the legislative resolution as the mechanism to approve the amended petition, set authority boundaries, provide appointment methods for board members and fix the surety bond required for the board of trustees.

With no questions from committee members, the chair said the committee would put item 1 (the amended petition) and item 2 (the legislative resolution) on for passage. The transcript records these items being placed on for passage; no formal roll-call vote or final adoption is recorded in the committee transcript.

Because the resolution and petition were introduced and placed on for passage at this meeting, they will advance through the council’s legislative process for any required subsequent readings, votes or formal adoption steps.
