Emergency designation of appropriation ordinances
Beavercreek
Summary
Nearly every ordinance was passed to a second reading 'as an emergency,' skipping the normal 30-day wait. Residents argued this blocks referendum petitions and reflects poor planning rather than a true emergency; the law director said it's charter-permitted and needed to preserve grant timelines.
