Council Meetings

City Council meets in regular session at the Vermilion Municipal Complex located at 687 Decatur Street on the first and third Mondays of each month. All meeting dates and times are subject to change. 

The Council holds at least one regular meeting in each calendar month. A majority of the members of the Council constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Council, but a lesser number may adjourn the meeting from time to time and compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and under such penalties as may be prescribed by ordinance. At any meeting at which a quorum is present, any ordinance or resolution may be passed or adopted, or any other action may be taken, by the affirmative vote of four members of the Council unless a larger number be required by the provisions of the City Charter. The Clerk of Council keeps a record of its proceedings in a journal in which the yea or nay vote of each Councilman voting on an ordinance, resolution or other measure may be recorded. All meetings of the Council are open to the public and its journal is available for public inspection at all reasonable times, except that the President of Council or the Mayor, upon oral request, or any four Councilpersons who shall deliver a request in writing to the Council Clerk, may cause Council to meet in a closed executive session according to the procedures and limited to the subject matter contained in the general statutes of the State of Ohio as may be amended from time to time, popularly known as the Ohio Sunshine Law.
