Action of Council shall be by ordinance, resolution, or motion. Every action of a general and permanent nature, or granting a franchise; or levying a tax; or appropriating money; or contracting an indebtedness, to be evidenced by the issuance of bonds or notes; or for the purchase, lease or transfer of public property; or establishing an offense and fixing the penalty therefor, shall be taken by ordinance, in the manner hereinafter provided. All other action may be by resolution or motion.
Any member of Council may, at a regular meeting or a special meeting, introduce any ordinance or resolution. Such ordinance or resolution shall be in written or printed form and shall contain a concise title, and specify the form of publication.
Each ordinance shall contain an enacting clause as follows: “Be it Ordained by the Council of The Village (City) of Columbiana, State of Ohio”, and each resolution shall contain an enacting clause as follows: “Be It Resolved by the Council of the Village (City) of Columbiana, State of Ohio.”
Each ordinance or resolution shall contain only one (1) subject which shall be expressed in its title, provided, however, that appropriation ordinances may contain the various subjects, accounts and amounts for which monies are appropriated, and that ordinances and resolutions which are codified or recodified are not subject to the limitation of containing one (1) subject.
