1. Measures to which the referendum is not applicable shall pass by a majority vote of the Council members as set forth below, and shall take effect immediately upon certification of publication by the Clerk.
2. Ordinances: Will pass by an affirmative vote of a majority of the elected or appointed members of Council. Each Ordinance shall be read on three (3) separate days. On the presentation of an Ordinance it shall be read in its entirety. Each subsequent reading may be by title only and will not be effective until thirty (30) days after the final reading, unless declared to be an emergency.
Separately, Council, by an affirmative vote of not less than five members may suspend the rules that an Ordinance be read on three separate dates. Additionally, Council by an affirmative vote of four members may elect to read an Ordinance on its first presentation by title only, if a summary of the legislation is made available to the public with such first presentation.

Emergency Ordinance: Will pass by an affirmative vote of not less than five members of Council so long as a section is set forth in such Ordinance stating the reason and nature for such emergency, and declaring it necessary to put such measure into immediate force and effect in order to preserve the public peace, order, safety, health or welfare of the Village. Such Ordinance shall then take effect immediately upon certification by the Clerk of publication. No public utility franchise or rate ordinance shall be passed as an emergency measure.
4. Resolution: Will pass by an affirmative vote of a majority of the elected or appointed members of Council. Requires only one reading and is effective thirty (30) days after passage. Provided, however, Resolutions approving, accepting or authorizing a contract shall take effect immediately upon passage if such contract is awarded by competitive bidding as required by Oho law, or such contract is otherwise exempt from competitive bidding as permitted by Ohio law.
5. Motions: Will pass by an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of Council present and voting and is effective immediately upon passage.
6. All other measures shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after the certification by the Clerk of publication under the requirements of this Charter, unless suspended by the filing of a valid referendum petition.
