CITY LAW DIRECTOR
The person elected to the office of City Law Director at the November 1965 municipal election under the statutory form of government shall serve as City Law Director under this Charter for a term of two years and shall have the powers, duties and functions this Charter confers upon the City Law Director. At the November 1967 municipal election and every four years thereafter the City Law Director shall be elected from the City at large for a four year term. He shall assume office on the first Monday in December following his election, and he shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. The salary of the City Law Director for the two year term of office beginning January 3, 1966, shall be $5,520.00 per year, and thereafter the salary of the City Law Director shall be established by the Council, subject to the limitation provided in Sec. 3.11 of this Charter.
(Amended 11-3-81; 5-8-01)
(Editor’s Note: Because of the 2006 amendment to Charter Section 23.01 (Terms of Elected Officials), all references to the date an official takes office should be deemed to mean that the official shall take office on the first day of January following his/her election. See Section 23.01.)
The City Law Director shall have been a resident of the City for at least one year before his election and shall be an elector of the City at the time of his election and during his term of office. The City Law Director shall hold no other employment with the City, except that he may serve as Administrative Legal Counsel, nor shall he hold any other election public office, except that of member of the county central committee of the political party of which he is a member or that of a delegate to a state or national political party convention of the political party of which he is a member. The City Law Director may serve any health district, school district or other political subdivision as legal counsel, and he may receive compensation for such service. The City Law Director shall have been duly admitted to the practice of law in the State of Ohio.
