Description

Under existing law, a municipality may adopt the council-manager form of government pursuant to Article 1 of Chapter 43A of Title 11, Code of Alabama 1975, the Council-Manager Act of 1982. In that case, the council is composed of five members

The mayor and one council member are elected at large and three council members are elected from single-member districts. In addition, an alternate form for the composition of the council is provided for in Class 6 municipalities with a mayor and eight council members

This bill would authorize a Class 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 municipality having the mayor-council form of government to adopt the council-manager form of government having a council composed of either five or seven members with a mayor elected at large and either four or six council members elected either at large or from single-member districts. The bill would also amend existing law to further specify exceptions to existing law to conform to this act

To add Section 11-43A-1.1 to the Code of Alabama 1975, the Council-Manager Act of 1982; to authorize certain municipalities having the mayor-council form of government to adopt alternate forms of organization for the council-manager form of government and to provide for the election of the members of the council; and to amend Section 11-43A-16, Code of Alabama 1975, to further provide for the election of a mayor pro tempore and for the filling of vacancies in the office of mayor and members of the council, and to amend Sections 11-43A-8, 11-43A-9, 11-43A-14, and 11-43A-32 of the Code of Alabama 1975, to conform to this act and to further specify exceptions to the number of members on the council-manager form of government under existing law.
