Northfield council unanimously adopts NOPEC grant resolution and confirms Recreation Board appointment
Summary
At its Jan. 22 meeting, the Village of Northfield Council unanimously adopted an emergency resolution to accept NOPEC grant funds and confirmed Zach Hebebrand to the Recreation Board. Both measures were passed after suspending the three-reading rule.
The Village of Northfield Council unanimously approved two emergency measures during its Jan. 22, 2025 meeting, adopting an emergency resolution to accept Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) grant funds and confirming the mayoral appointment of Zach Hebebrand to the Recreation Board.
Law Director Brad Bryan read Resolution No. 2025-02, which authorizes acceptance of NOPEC grant funds. Councilmember Renell Noack moved to suspend the three-reading rule; the motion was seconded by Alan Hipps and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. Noack then moved to adopt the emergency resolution, seconded by Councilmember Gary Vojtush; the adoption was approved unanimously by roll call (Ferko, Noack, Vojtush, Magistrelli, Hipps).
Bryan then read Resolution No. 2025-03, confirming the mayor's appointment of Zach Hebebrand to the Recreation Board. Council again voted to suspend the three-reading rule (motion by Noack, second by Vojtush) and to adopt the resolution (motion by Vojtush, second by Noack); both votes were unanimous.
Both measures were handled as emergency legislation with suspension of the typical three-reading process; council members recorded unanimous "yes" votes on the procedural suspensions and final adoptions. The meeting record does not specify the dollar amount of the NOPEC grant in the adopted motion.
