Village Resolutions
In Ohio, village resolutions are formal expressions of opinion, intent, or administrative action passed by a village council, but unlike ordinances, resolutions do not create permanent laws. They are often used for one-time or temporary matters.
Key Differences Between Resolutions and Ordinances:
Resolutions do not create laws.
Formality
Ordinances require multiple readings resolutions typically do not.
Use
Resolutions are generally crafted for administrative matters and do not create laws for citizens.
Publication
Ordinances must be published where resolutions have no legal requirement for publishment
