Medina — On June 22, City Council suspended the three-reading rule and approved four ordinances and one resolution by unanimous roll-call votes.
Councilmember Aaron moved to suspend the rules requiring three readings for Ordinances 102-26, 103-26, 104-26 and 105-26; the motion passed on a 6-0 roll call. The subsequent votes were unanimous (6-0) on each item.
Ordinance 102-26: Council approved an amendment to codified ordinances (section 133.01) to allow association memberships for the fire department. Councilmember Hare moved approval; Chief Walters told council that memberships will assist the inspection and fire-marshal staff with plan reviews, training and other benefits. Vote: 6-0.
Resolution 103-26: The Municipal Court received an additional $7,500 under a probation/community corrections grant to buy a stand-up check-in kiosk for the probation department. Cindy Laschuka explained the grant and the kiosk purchase; council approved the resolution 6-0.
Ordinance 104-26: Finance-related transfers to the railroad, parking and cable-TV funds were approved. Mr. Germ explained that the cable fund name remains because franchise fees still fund it. Vote: 6-0.
Ordinance 105-26: Council amended the 2026 budget (amending Ordinance 218-25 of Dec. 8, 2025) to encompass the transfers and additional items described; Councilmember Durham summarized the coverage and the ordinance passed 6-0.
Vote roster (where recorded): Simpson — Yes; Coin — Yes; Hare — Yes; Isabella — Yes; Lamb — Yes; Simmons — Yes. Several motions showed a recorded second by an unnamed member ("Second" stated in the transcript but a seconding speaker was not always identified).
