Council determines all municipal polices that are not set forth in the charter or by state legislation. Council adopts ordinances and resolutions, votes appropriations, approves the budget, determines the tax rate and appoints citizens to serve on various advisory boards and commissions.
An ordinance is a formal enactment or law that has been adopted by Council. Before an ordinance is put into effect it’s called a proposed ordinance. All proposed ordinances must be advertised and discussed at a public Council meeting one month prior to adoption. Council then votes on the proposed ordinance. Current proposed ordinances are posted on our website and are advertised locally.
Resolutions are used to perform the day-to-day administrative tasks of the governing body: to appoint members to committees, to recognize merit, to state policy, to request action or to state that further action of a more substantial nature may lie in the future.
Plymouth Township’s current codified ordinances are available online from General Code.
