North Royalton council adopts staffing, pay and grant measures in unanimous votes
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting, North Royalton City Council suspended the rules and unanimously adopted three ordinances and a resolution affecting staffing classifications, non‑union pay rates and acceptance of a NOPEC grant; motions carried by 7-0 roll calls.
North Royalton City Council on Feb. 3 suspended the three‑reading rule and unanimously adopted ordinances updating the city's staffing plan, adjusting pay rates for non‑union employees and authorizing acceptance of a NOPEC Energized Community Grant, and approved a consent‑agenda resolution to advertise for ferric chloride bids.
The actions were taken under emergency provisions. President of Council Paul Marnecheck moved to suspend the rules and to adopt items on the consent agenda; Mr. Gary Petrusky seconded the motion. Roll‑call votes on the consent agenda and each ordinance recorded seven yeas and no nays.
Ordinance 26‑27, introduced by Mayor Antoskiewicz and co‑sponsored by Mr. Marnecheck, amends the city's staffing and classification plan and repeals Ordinance 25‑164. The ordinance was adopted after suspension of the three‑reading rule.
Ordinance 26‑28, introduced by Mayor Antoskiewicz, amends Ordinance 25‑121 to establish rates of compensation for non‑union city employees for calendar years 2024, 2025 and 2026. The council moved to suspend the three‑reading rule and adopted the ordinance by a unanimous roll call.
Ordinance 26‑29, also introduced by Mayor Antoskiewicz, authorizes the mayor to accept a Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) Energized Community Grant. The ordinance was adopted "as amended," and the record shows the same unanimous vote. The transcript does not specify the grant amount or program details.
As part of the Consent Agenda, RESOLUTION 26‑26 was adopted. The resolution authorizes the mayor and the wastewater superintendent to advertise for bids for ferric chloride for the city's wastewater operations and was passed after suspension of the three‑reading requirement.
The procedural motions were routine: Mr. Marnecheck moved and Mr. Petrusky seconded the suspensions and adoptions; each roll call was recorded as seven yeas, zero nays. The meeting adjourned at 9:14 p.m. Minutes were later approved Feb. 17, 2026, and attested by Clerk Helen Dunlap.
What’s next: The ordinances were adopted as emergency measures and therefore take effect immediately unless the ordinances themselves specify otherwise. The transcript does not record further implementation steps, funding amounts for the NOPEC grant, nor named assignees to carry out the staffing‑plan changes.
