Council Legislation & Action

There are several types of actions considered by City Council during regular meetings.

Ordinances are formal enactments of laws, and include subjects such as purchases of items greater than $25,000, real estate-related transactions, contract authorizations, bid awards, changes to the City’s Code, and other formal action.

Resolutions are generally non-regulatory actions by Council, and could include subjects such as recognition of events, accomplishments, or individuals; routine appointments by Council to the City’s citizen-based boards and commissions as established by the Charter; and other Council action as deemed appropriate in resolution format.

Mayoral Proclamations are ceremonial acts that sometimes appear on a Council Agenda (but not all proclamations appear on an agenda). Proclamations usually recognize a special event or individual in Blue Ash for their special significance or accomplishments. 

Draft legislation showing what Council will be considering at the upcoming meeting will be posted to the Municipal Bulletin section of this website.
