Ohio Code § 737.15

§ 737.15.

Each village shall have a marshal, designated chief of police, appointed by the mayor

with the advice and consent of the legislative authority of the village, who need

not be a resident of the village at the time of appointment but shall become a resident

thereof within six months after appointment by the mayor and confirmation by the legislative

authority unless such residence requirement is waived by ordinance, and who shall

continue in office until removed therefrom as provided by section 737.171 of the Revised Code . No person shall receive an appointment under this section after January 1, 1970, unless,

not more than sixty days prior to receiving such appointment, the person has passed

a physical examination, given by a licensed physician, a physician assistant, a clinical

nurse specialist, a certified nurse practitioner, or a certified nurse-midwife, showing

that the person meets the physical requirements necessary to perform the duties of

village marshal as established by the legislative authority of the village.  The appointing authority shall, prior to making any such appointment, file with

the Ohio police and fire pension fund a copy of the report or findings of said licensed

physician, physician assistant, clinical nurse specialist, certified nurse practitioner,

or certified nurse-midwife.  The professional fee for such physical examination shall be paid for by such legislative

authority.
