With the new year, the newest North Royalton City Council has been sworn in.
Every two years, the President of Council assigns the various Council committees to each City Council member. It is the duty of the Council President to assign the Council Committees of Buildings and Building Codes; Finance; Review and Oversight; Rules and Ordinances; Safety; Streets; Storm Water and Utilities. All committees meet monthly, with the exception of the Review and Oversight Committee, which meets when needed. Members of Council also sit on the Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals and Recreation Board. Typically, the change of assignments takes place after the Council elections take place.
The timing of the various committee meetings will remain as they have been. All Committee meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday nights in the Council Chambers at City Hall, at 14600 State Road. The Storm Water, Streets and Utilities Committees will take place, back-to-back, on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. The Building & Building Codes, Finance and Safety Committee meeting will take place on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. The committee meetings will precede the regular City Council meetings. Council Caucus and Meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. If any regular meeting of Council falls on a legal Holiday observed by the City or on an Election day, Council shall meet in regular session on the following day.
