Council advances ordinance to amend city code to conform with state law on second reading
Summary
City council approved second reading of an ordinance to repeal and replace portions of the city code (chapter 21, article 3, division 4 and related amendments) to align with state law; the measure passed by roll call.
Charleston City Council on Aug. 19 approved for second reading an ordinance described on the agenda as "an ordinance to repeal and replace chapter 21, article 3, division 4, sections 21-67 through 21-74, and to amend chapter 22, article 1, sections 22-7 and 22-8 of the Code of the City of Charleston to conform with state law." The ordinance was taken separately and passed on a roll-call vote; the mayor announced it "passes."
Council member Shealy was recorded as "aye" during the roll call and Mayor William S. Cogswell Jr. was recorded voting "aye." The council did not take further public comment on the item after the roll call; the mayor said no further action was required beyond the recorded vote.
The ordinance’s text as read on the floor updates specified sections of the municipal code to conform with state law; the transcript did not include the ordinance’s substantive operative text or subject-matter summary beyond the code sections listed on the agenda. The council recorded the roll call and the mayor announced the ordinance passed second reading. Additional technical or substantive changes, if any, will appear in the ordinance text filed with the city clerk following second-reading approval.
