such accommodations within their means, and without undue hardship, and reasonable

moving costs; (G) The names and tax mailing addresses, as determined from the records of the county

auditor not more than five days prior to the submission of the application to the

mayor of the municipal corporation, of the owners of all property which the corporation

proposes in its application to acquire. Such application shall be addressed and submitted to the mayor of the municipal corporation,

who shall, within sixty days after receipt thereof, submit it with the mayor's recommendations

to the governing body.  The application shall be a matter of public record upon receipt by the mayor. The governing body shall by notice published once a week for two consecutive weeks

in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipal corporation or as provided

in section 7.16 of the Revised Code , by written notice, by certified mail or personal service, to the owners of property

which the corporation proposes in its application to purchase at the tax mailing address

as set forth in the corporation's application, by the putting up of signs in at least

five places within the area covered by the application, and by giving written notice,

by certified mail or personal service, to community organizations known by the clerk

of the governing body to represent a substantial number of the residents of the area

covered by the application, advise that the application is on file in the office of

the clerk of the governing body of the municipal corporation and is available for

inspection by the general public during business hours and advise that a public hearing

shall be held thereon, stating the place and time of the public hearing, which time

shall be not less than fourteen days after the first publication, or after sending

the mailed notice, or after the putting up of the signs, whichever is later. Following the public hearing and after complying with section 5709.83 of the Revised Code , the governing body, taking into consideration the financial impact on the community,

shall by resolution approve or disapprove the application, approval to be by an affirmative

vote of not less than three-fifths of the governing body, but in the event of disapproval,

changes may be suggested to secure its approval. An application may be revised or resubmitted in the same manner and subject to the

same procedures as an original application.  The clerk of the governing body shall diligently discharge the duties imposed on

the clerk by this division, provided failure of the clerk to send written notices

to all community organizations, in a good faith effort by the clerk to give the required

notice, shall not invalidate any proceedings under this chapter.  The failure of delivery of notice given by certified mail under this division shall

not invalidate any proceedings under this chapter.
