§ 8.3. Elected officers.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    "Elected office" defined. For this charter's purposes—

    (1)

    an "elected office" means one that the voters elect; and

    (2)

    an "elected officer"—

    (A)

    means the incumbent holding an elected office, and includes an appointee filling a vacancy in such an office pending an election; but

    (B)

    does not include an officer elected by a board or commission to an office that is not an elected office.

    (b)

    Qualifications. No person is eligible as an elected officer unless he or she can vote for that office. A redistricting does not affect the eligibility or term of any incumbent holding office when the plan takes effect.

    (c)

    Resignation. Any elected officer may resign by tendering a written resignation to the City Clerk.

    (d)

    Holding over. Each elected officer serves until his or her successor has qualified and takes office.
