Council adopts resolution to sell surplus property and suspends rules to adopt emergency ordinance
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 202-02 (sale of municipally owned personal property via internet auction) and later moved to suspend rules and adopt Ordinance 20257 under emergency procedures; several other ordinances were given readings or introduced.
The West Lafayette village council moved to adopt Resolution 202-02, authorizing the sale of municipally owned personal property by internet auction during calendar year 2025 pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §721.15(D). The motion to adopt the resolution was seconded and approved by the council during the meeting.
The council also discussed multiple ordinances: Ordinance 2025-5 (authorizing the sale of real estate owned by the village) received a second reading, and Ordinance 20256 (regulating motor vehicles in the village, including updated language on abandoned vehicles) received a second reading with revisions noted. Ordinance 2025-07, adopting the 2025 version of the village code with certain retained ordinances (including a provision related to dogs at the park), was introduced for first reading.
Separately, the council moved to suspend the rules required for additional readings and then adopted Ordinance 20257 under emergency procedures; members recorded affirmative responses following the motion and second. A motion to pay the village bills was made, seconded and approved, and the council noted there would be no executive session.
The legislative actions were presented during the introduction-of-ordinances portion of the meeting and concluded with motions to adopt and procedural votes; the meeting minutes will record formal vote tallies.
