121.03 PASSAGE PROCEDURE FOR LEGISLATION.

   The form of all ordinances and resolutions shall be as follows: "Be it Ordained by the Council of the City of Beachwood, State of Ohio." Legislative action of Council shall be by ordinance and resolution, with the vote taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the Journal, except this shall not apply to the ordering of an election or direction of Council to any officer or board to furnish Council with information as to the affairs of any department or office. No ordinance or resolution, except a general appropriation ordinance, shall contain more than one subject which shall be clearly stated in the title. All ordinances except emergency ordinances shall be read in full at three separate meetings of Council before passage.

   Resolutions and emergency ordinances shall, before passage, be read by title only at three separate meetings of Council, provided that this requirement may be dispensed with by the affirmative vote of five members of Council and provided, further, that such resolution or ordinance shall be read in full when so requested by any member of Council.

   The affirmative vote of at least four members of Council shall be required for the passage of every ordinance or resolution unless a greater number be required by the Charter or by Ohio R.C. 727.12 relating to the passage of a resolution declaring the necessity of an improvement to be paid for in whole or in part by special assessment.
