Orrville council adopts a package of emergency ordinances and resolutions

The Orrville City Council adopted a package of ordinances and resolutions during its meeting, approving several measures under suspension of the three‑reading requirement.

Council member (speaker 2) moved to place Ordinances H‑24, I‑24, J‑24, K‑24 and L‑24 on first reading and later moved to suspend the rules and adopt each as read; roll calls were recorded and each motion passed. The ordinances amend municipal code sections on police holidays, uniform allowances, vacations and police training/travel/compensation and were declared emergency measures.

On the resolutions side, the council approved Resolution 46‑24 (accepting recommendations from the Tax Incentive Review Council), Resolution 47‑24 (fixing salaries and wages for employees eligible for Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association membership), Resolution 48‑24 (salary grade housekeeping), Resolution 49‑24 (designating a public depository) and Resolution 50‑24 (year‑end appropriations). Each resolution was considered under suspension of the three‑reading rule and adopted following roll‑call votes.

The meeting record shows council followed the same procedural pattern for multiple items: placement on first reading, motions to suspend the three‑reading rule and adoption by roll call. The chair (speaker 1) seconded or called for seconding on several motions; individual roll calls were made for each adoption.

The council set its next regular meeting for Jan. 6, 2025, and adjourned after brief holiday remarks.

Ending: All listed ordinances and resolutions were carried by recorded vote during the meeting.
