Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, March 16, 2020 Page 12 There was none. ROLL CALL: AYES: All Motion Carried NAYS: None Resolution Adopted Resolution No. 2020-18, entitled, "A resolution amending the policy and procedure for qualifications -based selection for professional services." Introduced by Mayor Bodnar. (Administration). Mayor Bodnar asked, Council President, this Resolution goes in tandem with Ordinance 2020-06 and we would ask that it therefore be put on three reads to go along with Ordinance 2020-06 and not be voted on tonight. Resolution No. 2020-18 moved to Second Read. Resolution No. 2020-19, entitled, "An, emergency resolution authorizing Mayfield Village to accept the bid of Catts Construction in the amount of $949,831.75 for the 2020 Road Program Project." Introduced by Mayor Bodnar. (Engineer). Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Marquardt, made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2020-19. Council President Schutt asked, discussion? There was none. ROLL CALL: AYES: All Motion Carried NAYS: None Resolution Adopted ANY OTHER MATTER BEFORE COUNCIL Council President Schutt asked, are there any other matters that may come before Council at this time? Mr. Coyne stated, I just received the ruling on the delay of the election to June 2"d and cancelling tomorrow's election ordered and requested by the Governor. The ruling came down to not permit that to occur. There could be an appeal later on this evening. Mr. Coyne read off the news report. In sum, the Legislature decided that the primary election would be held on March 17th. On Monday, Governor DeWine and Secretary of State Frank LaRose said they wanted to postpone the election until June 2nd with absentee voting allowed before then. The argument of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit were that going out to vote would be a risk to their health since Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton has stated that elderly people can get sicker and even die from coronavirus as well as people whose immune systems are compromised. Under the system, there could be an emergency filing with the Court of Appeals in Franklin County. It's going to be very difficult to do that tonight. I think most of the County election officials were assuming it was going to be rescheduled to June 2"d. They haven't even set anything up here.
