All members of Council shall have been qualified electors of the Municipality for such period of time as may be required, from time to time, by the laws of the Ohio Revised Code immediately preceding their election, and shall continue to be qualified electors of the Municipality during their respective terms of office. No member of Council shall hold any other public office except the offices of notary public, member of the National Guard, or member of the regular or reserve armed forces of the United States, unless otherwise provided for or permitted by this Charter.
(Amended November 4, 1975; Amended November 3, 2020)
Any member of Council who shall cease to possess or who violates any of the qualifications of office herein provided; who is finally convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or who fails to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the Council, unless such absence is excused by a majority vote of the members present at such meetings or a subsequent meeting of the Council, shall be subject to forfeiture of his office in the manner provided by Section 11.04 of this Charter. A member of Council shall not vote upon the question of his removal or whether his absence from a regular meeting shall be excused. Failure to maintain such qualifications shall not render void or ineffective any action of the Council in which such member participated.
