Bill overview
This bill revises the City of Henderson’s charter to streamline the process of filling vacancies in municipal offices and enacting ordinances. Specifically, it changes the requirements for appointing replacements for vacant council seats or mayoral/judge positions, shifting the responsibility to the City Council to call for a special election within 60 days of a vacancy. The bill also modifies the procedure for passing ordinances, allowing the City Council to refer them to a committee but retaining the requirement to consider them regardless. Finally, it alters the rules regarding the sale of city-owned property, permitting time-payment sales and removing the requirement for equal consideration to acquisition costs.
