Cuyahoga Falls City Council holds regular meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Council committee meetings are held on the first and third Mondays in order to allow councilmembers to publicly discuss pending legislation that will be voted on at regular meetings. The public is free to comment on pending legislation during the allowed time set aside as part of committee meetings.
The meeting was started with a meeting of the committee of the whole to accept the mayor’s appointment of Ashley Brillhart to fill the unexpired term of Jamie Prenatt who recently resigned from the seat. Ms. Brillhart has a long-standing history of volunteering within the community and will be a welcome addition to the board, said Mayor Walters. Council voted later to ratify the appointment, and it passed 9-1 votes with one abstaining.
