Ohio § 735.10

§ 735.10.

When a city has in contemplation the building of, or is in the process of constructing

or furnishing, a city hall, the director of public service may employ five citizens

of such city, to be named by him, not more than three of whom shall belong to the

same political party, who shall constitute a commission, under his supervision and

direction, to procure the necessary land for the construction or to furnish such city

hall. The members of the commission shall each receive such compensation, not to exceed

five dollars each per meeting, as the director fixes, but such compensation shall

in no case exceed twelve hundred dollars per annum each, which, together with the

expenses of the members, shall be paid in the same manner as the cost of such city

hall. Such commission shall select a president from its members, and may appoint a clerk

and other necessary employees, and, subject to the approval of the director, fix their

compensation.
