Council accepts NOPEC Energized Community Grant and waives three-reading rule
Summary
Roaming Shores council voted unanimously to accept a NOPEC Energized Community Grant for fiscal year 2026, changing the item from an ordinance to Resolution 20260103R and waiving the three-reading requirement to approve it during the meeting.
Roaming Shores — The Village Council approved acceptance of a NOPEC (Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council) Energized Community Grant for fiscal year 2026 and voted to treat the item as a resolution (20260103R), waiving the three-reading rule so it could be adopted during the meeting.
Council members moved first to change the draft’s title from an ordinance to a resolution consistent with grant acceptance practice; the title change motion was seconded and passed by roll call. Later the council voted to waive the three-reading rule and adopt the resolution as an emergency measure. Roll-call voting recorded unanimous 'yes' votes from Bob Cook, Megan Clark, Steve Coffman, Joyce Miznik, Holly Marin and Gary Man.
Why it matters: Accepting the NOPEC grant allows the village to receive external energy-related funding tied to the program. Council treated the matter as an administrative grant acceptance and used the resolution format rather than an ordinance to match funding procedures.
Council instructed staff to finalize any necessary administrative acceptances and file the required paperwork to receive the grant funds.
No further debate over program specifics was recorded at the meeting.
