§ 504.11.
(A) The vote on the question of passage of a resolution provided for in section 504.10 of the Revised Code or a motion related to that resolution shall be taken by yeas and nays and entered
on the journal, and the resolution or motion shall not be passed without concurrence
of a majority of all members of the board of township trustees, except that each emergency
resolution under that section shall require the affirmative vote of all of the members
of the board for its enactment. If an emergency resolution fails to receive the required vote for passage as an
emergency measure but receives the necessary majority for passage as a nonemergency
resolution, it shall be considered passed as a nonemergency resolution. Except as otherwise provided in division (B) of this section, a resolution shall
become effective thirty days after it is filed with the township fiscal officer. Each emergency resolution shall determine that the resolution is necessary for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare and shall contain
a statement of the necessity for the emergency. Each resolution shall be authenticated by the signature of the township fiscal officer,
but the failure or refusal of the fiscal officer to sign a resolution shall not invalidate
an otherwise properly enacted resolution. (B) Each resolution appropriating money, submitting a question to the electorate, determining
to proceed with an election, or providing for the approval of a revision, codification,
recodification, or rearrangement of resolutions, or publication of resolutions in
book form shall take effect, unless a later time is specified in the resolution, ten
days after it is filed with the township fiscal officer. Emergency resolutions shall take effect immediately. (C) Each resolution shall be recorded in a book, or other record prescribed by the board,
established and maintained for that purpose. The township fiscal officer or a duly authorized deputy to the fiscal officer shall,
upon the request of any person and upon the payment of a fee established by the board,
certify true copies of any resolution, and these certified copies shall be admissible
as evidence in any court. (D) The procedures provided in this section apply only to resolutions adopted pursuant
to a township's limited home rule powers as authorized by this chapter.
