Mitchell Kingsley, attorney for St. John Mennonite Church, was present to submit to the Council an emergency resolution in place of the village Council's Resolution No. 2011-605, which is to be presented at this meeting for its third and final reading.

The reason for the emergency resolution is due to Mr. Kingsley's interpretation, if the legislation is adopted by way of three readings as opposed to an emergency, then that particular legislation does not go into effect until 30 days after the final reading.

Whereby an emergency legislation does go into effect immediately upon its passage. Since there were not enough council members in attendance to pass this legislation as an emergency, the Council submitted their Resolution No. 2011-605 for its third and final reading.

RESOLUTION NO. 2011-605:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND FISCAL OFFICER OF THE VILLAGE OF PANDORA, OHIO TO ENTER INTO AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH THE RILEY TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.
Motion was made Mr. Vance, seconded by Mrs. Stall to adopt Resolution No. 2011-605 as read for its third and final reading. Voting: All Yea.

The Village Administrator reported on the following:

1) Working with Mark Suter as to the village's new website. It is now up and running, but as of this date not all information has been installed. Mr. Schneck would like feedback from the Council as to any additions or improvements to this website.

2) The necessary documents have been submitted to Ohio EPA as to the St. John Church project. It can take up to four weeks to receive notification from EPA as to these proposed plans.

RESOLUTION NO. 2011-607:
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A DRUG ENFORCEMENT FUND TO SUBSIDIZE THE AGENCY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS THAT PERTAIN TO DRUG OFFENSES, PROVIDED BY MANDATORY FINES PROVIDED UNDER ORC 2925.03(D)(1) AND ANY FINE OTHER THAN A MANDATORY FINE THAT IS IMPOSED FOR A VIOLATION PURSUANT TO DIVISION (A) OR (B)(5) OF SECTION 2929.18 OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE TO THE COUNTY, TOWNSHIP, MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OR PARK DISTRICT, AS CREATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 511.18 OR 1545.04 OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE OR STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THIS STATE THAT PRIMARILY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR OR INVOLVED IN MAKING THE ARREST OF, AND IN PROSECUTING, THE OFFENDER.
Motion was made by Mr. Vance, seconded by Mrs. Stall to place Resolution No. 2011-607 on its first reading. Voting: All Yea.
