The Village of Northfield Council adopted Ordinance No. 2023‑30 on July 26, an emergency ordinance amending Chapter 1446 of the village housing code to address rental certificates and exterior inspection requirements for rented single‑family houses. Law Director Brad Bryan read the ordinance by title, and Council moved to suspend the three‑reading rule and adopt on the motion of Councilmember Renell Noack, seconded by Gary Vojtush.
Councilmembers voted by roll call to approve the emergency ordinance. The minutes record that the motion to suspend readings and the motion to adopt were approved by the council members present, including Councilperson Ferko who had arrived earlier in the meeting.
