Council Minutes of 8-4-2020 Motion carried. Ordinance 2020-88 adopted 7-0. Ordinance 2020-89 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor Kennedy on behalf of himself, Councilman Glassburn and Councilwoman Hemann. An Ordinance providing for the submission of an amendment to the electors of the City of North Olmsted to Article IV, Section 11 of the Charter of the City of North Olmsted for the purpose of requiring a statement of necessity when the requirement of three (3) readings of legislation is suspended, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Glassburn moved to suspend the rules requiring three readings and formal committee review seeing as an identical item has previously received three readings and moving the measure to the November ballot would be in the interest of the public welfare. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schumann and passed unanimously. Roll Call: Yes: Glassburn, Schumann, Brossard, Kelly, Limpert, Williamson, Hemann No: None Motion carried. Councilman Glassburn moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schumann and passed unanimously. Roll Call: Yes: Glassburn, Hemann, Kelly, Limpert No: Schumann, Brossard, Williamson Motion failed. Ordinance 2020-89 failed due to lack of two-thirds majority 4-3 Councilman Glassburn voted yes with comment. Since the inception of the Charter Review Commission this Council has placed each approved measure on the ballot for residents to consider. Like mayoral appointments for Directors, I believe we owe great deference for these types of decisions. Further, it has been stated this measure may not be most appropriate in the Charter. Seeing as suspending emergency clauses are provided for in the Charter, I believe it is most appropriate to locate this item in the same location as well. Thank you. Councilman Schumann voted no with comment. I stand by my objections from last month or month and a half ago, whenever we voted last. Thank you. Councilman Brossard voted no with comment. I also stand by my previous objections based on simply any issue that we might have can be handled by the Rules of Council. My vote is no. Thank you. Ordinance 2020-90 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor Kennedy on behalf of himself, Councilman Glassburn and Councilwoman Hemann. An Ordinance providing for the submission of an amendment to the electors of the City of North Olmsted to Article XIV of the Charter of the City of North Olmsted to require appointments to the Charter Review Commission to occur before January 1s' and further requiring the recurring five (5) year review and report of the commission to be completed and submitted to the Council not later than May 31 s` of the year in which a review occurs,
