Description
Charter; City of Fredericksburg. Amends the charter so that vacancies in City Council are filled within 45 days, rather than 30 days, by a majority vote of the remaining City Council members. Stipulates that when more than two years remain in the unexpired term and the vacancy occurs at least 120 days prior to the next council member election, the City Council shall petition the circuit court to issue a writ of election to fill the vacancy, which shall occur at the next regularly scheduled May council member election. Until the vacancy is filled by special election, the City Council may appoint a qualified voter of the election district in which the vacancy occurred to fill the vacancy. Further provides that all ordinances and all resolutions appropriating funds in excess of $100,000, rather than $1,000, shall be adopted by the Fredericksburg City Council on two readings.
