Council moves to dispense with two‑meeting rule and authorize ordinance reading by title
Summary
The Canfield City Council voted to dispense with the charter’s two‑meeting notice requirement and to allow a first‑reading adoption of an ordinance, while discussing the planned sale of surplus police vehicles; the record shows affirmative responses from members present though an explicit numeric roll call is not specified.
Chair opened new business by moving "that council dispense with the requirement of 2 meetings of the proposed ordinance and authorize adoption of the same upon its 1st reading," and the motion was seconded by another council member. Council then moved to "dispense with the requirement of full reading of the proposed ordinance and authorize reading by title only." The procedural motions were advanced by the chair and seconded in the meeting record and members present indicated assent during the roll call sequence.
During discussion council clarified the related surplus item: several police vehicles no longer in frontline service would be declared surplus. Public Works Superintendent Mr. Rapp described options for transfer or sale, saying the city may sell vehicles government‑to‑government without an auction or, if not sold to another municipality, use the city's online auction process. He also noted one vehicle is equipped for K‑9 duty and might interest other departments. The transcript records affirmative responses from members present; the meeting record does not include an explicit numerical tally in a single consolidated vote statement.
