(A) Title III of this code of ordinances is designed to include and incorporate, insofar as is practical, all legislation concerning the organization, qualifications, appointment or election, terms of office, compensation, and the powers and duties of the officials, boards, and bodies of the village. Pertinent sections of the Ohio Revised Code relative to these village offices and boards have been assembled and adopted as a part of this Title. No material changes of the Revised Code sections referred to in the legislative histories have been made. The purpose of including these sections is to afford easy reference to the statutory provisions.
(B) In the interest of uniformity and consistency, all references to “village,” as the term appears in the Revised Code, have been changed to read “municipality” throughout this Title. However, the provisions of this Chapter shall only apply to the administration of village local government.
(A) Except as otherwise provided in division (B) of this section or in another section of the Revised Code, each officer of the municipality or of any department or board of the municipality, whether elected or appointed as a substitute for a regular officer, shall be an elector of the municipality and, before entering upon official duties, shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State and an oath that the officer will faithfully, honestly, and impartially discharge the duties of the office to which elected or appointed. These provisions as to official oaths shall extend to deputies, but they need not be electors.
(B) Neither this section nor any section of the Revised Code requires, or shall be construed to require, that a Fire Chief be an elector of the municipality.
(R.C. § 733.68)
Before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, each officer and employee, where such is required by the legislative authority, shall execute a bond approved according to law in the amount set forth for his or her respective office or position.
Except as otherwise provided in the municipal charter or in R.C. § 3.061, each officer required by law or ordinance to give bond shall do so before entering upon the duties of the office. Except as otherwise provided in the municipal charter or in R.C. § 3.061, the Legislative Authority may at any time require each officer to give a new or additional bond. Each bond, except that of the Auditor or Clerk, upon its approval, shall be delivered to the Auditor or Clerk, who shall immediately record it in a record provided for that purpose and file and carefully preserve it in the Auditor’s or Clerk’s office. The bond of the Auditor or Clerk shall be delivered to the Treasurer, who shall in like manner record and preserve it.
(R.C. § 733.69)
