introductory
A) RESOLUTION
DECLARING IT NECESSARY TO LEVY A TAX IN EXCESS OF THE TEN MILL LIMITATION AND
TO NOTIFY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OF HAMILTON COUNTY TO CAUSE THE NOTICE OF
ELECTION TO BE GIVEN AS REQUIRED BY LAW ON THE QUESTION OF LEVYING OF AN EIGHT
(8) MILL RENEWAL PROPERTY TAX FOR THE CURRENT OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE CITY OF
NORWOOD, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
Mr. Sanker asked why we are once again in Special Session in consideration of this Resolution. Mayor Williams responded that once again the Law Department had a slight mis-wording on the previous version that prevented it from being approved by the Board of Elections. We have very little control over the Law Department. We can help chauffeur completed Resolutions around town but they are responsible for writing Ordinance and Resolutions.
Mr. Mumper asked the Mayor if we knew the specifics of the mis-wording. Mayor Williams answered that they asked but we told them to contact the Board of Elections directly as we are not in the position to give legal advice to the Law Department. Mayor Williams commented that if this version happens to be wrong, we may be at a loss. It appears no one is held accountable for these issues, it’s simply up to Council to react to the mistakes of other departments.
On a motion by Mr. Mumper, seconded by Mr. Sanker, it was moved to suspend the rules and hear all three readings of the resolution. The following members voted YES: Mr. Gabbard, Mr. Sanker, Mr. Moore, Ms. Kelly, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Mumper. The following members voted NO: Mr. Schneider.
On a motion by Mr. Mumper, seconded by Mr. Barlow, it was moved to pass the resolution. The following members voted YES: Mr. Gabbard, Mr. Sanker, Mr. Moore, Ms. Kelly, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Mumper. The following members voted NO: Mr. Schneider.
