Provided in the event there is one vacancy in any office with a three-year term with an unexpired term of 364 days or less may be filled by appointment of the mayor with approval of council to provide that vacancies in any office with a three-year term within an expired term of greater than 364 days must be filled by special election within 120 days of the vacancy.

And all that's presented as a question that voters would then answer affirmatively yes or

no.

I

I don't think uh Mr.

Chairman, I suggest to you before that may have some questions to cross discussion, and maybe there's some revisions or changes that that the commission may want to uh to consider for this one.

I don't have anything specific.

So uh we had talked about again going through all of these propositions before the commission making the ultimate recommendations, uh but we can certainly have discussion now if there are any questions about this one.

I just have we have a limited question here.

Um I've got two uh eight or said personal might take three sixty shall serve served about

constituted election person does not serve if they have more than three six without their requirements that what it's like

so

I'm

gonna

go back here.

Okay, is that the very last one?

Last bullet there

says that parson dictates an office after serving period that it says three six it shall serve for I'm sorry, what that's what we four that we're seeing.

Yeah, so it's your referencing the kind of the red line of what the provision of the charter would look like, and that was subsection says that if someone vacates after serving 360 days, so that was discussed.

If someone were to take office and they were to vacate that office before they served a full year, uh the suggestion at our last conversation was that if they did it before, it would not be counted as a term against them

before 360 days was served.

So work on that person not necessarily the election time because we have two processes.

That's correct.

Second slash

five.

It's my understanding that the intention.

My understanding is the intention is this would be prospected.

So once it's adopted into the charter, that's when we begin to count moving forward.

Only would be things after terms served after it was adopted in the charter would count towards this limit.

That's my that's my understanding.

Thank you.

Commissioner McCartney.

Yeah, that's fine as well.

There's gonna be prospective.

I think go forward and trying to make it separate for 15 years from now, not looking back.

Another people here

about here just as much.

Uh the other question.

All right, uh section three eight terms.

Uh the next one is to accomplish term limits.

Uh specifically, this accomplishes or provides that a person can serve three terms as mayor, the person can serve three terms as council member.

That's what is to be accomplished by this proposition in the language that's proposed to be added to the charter.

When we drafted proposition B for this purpose, we'd ask the question shall Section 3A be added to Article 5 of the Northwoods Hills Home Rule Charter to provide that a council member shall be limited to three terms as a council member, but may serve three additional terms as mayor, and to provide that the mayor shall be limited to three terms as mayor, but may serve three additional terms as council member.

They this would uh apply.

So this one thing I want to note is being proposed as a separate proposition.

There's the potential that a three-year term proposition is turned down by the voters, and a term limit proposition is approved by the voters.

So just one thing to have in the back of your mind is is this is this your recommendation for term limits regardless of the change to the term?

Uh and if not, does that promise for uh once you consider any additional language here to how this is presented to the voters?

So technically it could be

six

of mayor,

six is council members, twelve years total compared to if they change the terms to be eighteen.

18 total, that's correct.

Versus six mayor, six council member with a two-year term.

Any question?

Guess not section three, adding automatic resignation on becoming candidate for another office.

This is what we we call the resign to run provision.

Uh this the purpose of this proposition will be to add resigned to run language to the charter to mirror requirements of section 65b article 16 of the Texas Constitution.

As proposed, proposition C would read Article 5, Section 3 of the North Richard Hills Home World Charter, be amended to provide the mayor or council member with more than one year and 30 days remaining in the term shall automatically resign their office upon becoming a candidate for any office of profit or trust other than the office then held and provide for filling the vacancy in the manner consistent with filling up vacancies.

So this language is is taken directly from the Constitution.
