Council to instruct Municode to update charter language on mayor pro tem cycle
Summary
Council agreed to adopt a ministerial ordinance instructing Municode to reflect a previously approved change that shortened the mayor pro tem cycle from four years to two; the change was effective when the governor signed local legislation but had not been published correctly.
Council members reviewed a clerical issue in the municipal charter related to Section 2.09, the mayor pro tem cycle. The local legislative change shortening the cycle from four years to two already became law when the governor signed the local act, but the ordinance that would prompt Municode to publish the corrected text was not completed in the prior process.
Council agreed the ordinance is a cleanup item that simply instructs Municode to update the online charter text to match the statute the governor signed. Speaker 3 emphasized that the change is already effective and the action before council is administrative: to ensure the published charter reflects the legislature's amendment.
