Enon council adopts resolution requesting county auditor certification under Ohio Revised Code §5705.03
Summary
The Village of Enon council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-01, a Resolution of Necessity requesting certification from the County Auditor under Ohio Revised Code §5705.03; the council also suspended the three-reading rule to consider the measure at the Jan. 13 meeting.
The Village of Enon council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-01 on Jan. 13, 2026, a resolution of necessity requesting certification from the County Auditor pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §5705.03. Councilmember Leist moved to adopt the resolution and Councilmember Sweet seconded; all six members (Leist, Sweet, Beair, Whitacre, Davoli and Rick Hanna) voted yes.
The council had first voted to suspend the three-reading rule so the measure could be considered at the same meeting. Councilmember Whitacre moved to suspend the rule, with Councilmember Davoli seconding; the suspension passed unanimously.
The resolution, described on the meeting agenda as a "Resolution of Necessity; Resolution Requesting Certification from County Auditor Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5705.03," was added to the agenda at the request of Fiscal Officer Robert Storm. The minutes do not specify the resolution's fiscal or project details beyond the statutory citation.
Why it matters: Certification under Ohio Revised Code §5705.03 is a procedural step that asks the county auditor to certify estimated tax rates or other fiscal items required before certain levies or borrowing measures can proceed. The council's action moves that certification request forward; the minutes record no dissent and no further detail about the intended use of funds.
What happened next: With adoption complete, the council did not record any additional debate or amendment to the resolution at the Jan. 13 meeting. Financial statements for December remain unclosed and will be presented at the next council meeting for approval, according to Fiscal Officer Robert Storm.
