Introduction & Fir t Reading.
Ordinance 154-97 - An Ordinance Calling for a Special Election in the City of Dublin on
February 3, 1998 Pursuant to the Referendum Petition Filed by the Electors.
Mayor Kranstuber introduced the ordinance.
Mr. Smith stated that staff is requesting that Council dispense with the public hearing of this
ordinance so that he can present the ordinance to the Board of Elections tomorrow. He noted
that an issue has been raised by the County Prosecutor regarding the 75 day time period
specified in the Ohio Revised Code relating to setting of election dates. Dublin's Charter
provision, however, allows Council to set a special election at any time, and he is of the
opinion that the home rule takes precedence over the state law on this matter.
Mr. Campbell suggested adding a clause to the ordinance to allow for a special election at the
earliest date that the Board will allow, in the event that they will not agree to the February 3
date.
Brief discussion followed.
. Smith recommended that the ordinance be approved as it is presently drafted.
ayor Kranstuber moved to dispense with the second reading.
. Campbell seconded the motion.
