Most of the smaller cities in Ohio can't afford a full time Law Director. Back when I was practicing law, getting the law director appointment was a big thing for small firms because it would pay for office overhead and allow most of the attorneys to make higher profit.

I am not a lawyer. My answers are based on research, knowledge, and are generally backed up with facts, the Ohio Revised Code, or the United States Code.

And they aren't cheap.

{¶ 44} Ohio permits the imposition of vicarious criminal liability against organizations
under R.C. 2901.23(A)(2) when (1) the General Assembly expresses an intention to impose
liability, (2) the act constituting a criminal offense was committed by the employee on behalf
of the organization, and (3) the act was within the scope of employment. Ohio does not,
however, allow for the imposition of individual vicarious criminal liability under R.C.
2901.21(A).
{¶ 45} The city’s ordinance very plainly imposes individual vicarious criminal liability
because it does not require that the offender commit any act or omission as a predicate for
culpability. An offense is committed by a parent once the child “has committed a status
offense, unruly act or a delinquent act that would be a misdemeanor or felony of any degree
if committed by an adult.” Our conclusion is inescapable: the ordinance allows that which
R.C. 2901.21(A) prohibits and is in direct conflict with R.C. 2901.21(A).
