Summary

Mayor asked the council to go into executive session under ORC §121.22(G) to consider purchase of property and announced a special meeting Thursday at 7 p.m. to consider a SALT ordinance with a Friday deadline to participate in the state program.

At the April 27 meeting, the mayor requested the council go into executive session to discuss a property acquisition and cited the statutory authority referenced in the record (Ohio Revised Code §121.22(G)). The council approved entering executive session and later returned to open session at 7:46 p.m.

The mayor also announced that the city will hold a special meeting Thursday at 7 p.m. to consider a SALT ordinance, explaining the state provides a narrow window for adoption: "If we don't get a resolution by Friday, we're unable to participate in that program, and it really is a huge cost savings for the city." The council scheduled the special meeting and the administration said it expects a benefit to the city if the ordinance is adopted within the state’s timeline.
