North Ridgeville considers charter changes on candidate residency
City council gave second reading to two charter amendments tied to court rulings on eligibility to hold office. Proposals set June votes to require mayoral and council candidates to live in the city and be registered voters for 30 days instead of two or three years. If defeated, further court action could follow. A separate ordinance refines garage setbacks and height, and a Jan 12 special meeting sets rezoning for Root Road and Route 10 land from residential to business for a medical building plan.
