Syllabus

Procedendo, mandamus recall election East Cleveland Charter R.C. 705.92 County Board of Elections Clerk of Council. This court denied an extraordinary writ to compel the Board of Elections to schedule recall elections. The city of East Cleveland Charter required the Clerk of Council to process the recall petitions, but there was no Clerk of Council. Under the East Cleveland Charter a single council member could not appoint the Law Director the Clerk of Council. The attempts to do so was ineffective, and the Board of Elections did not abuse its discretion by not abandoning the Charter provisions.
