SB 683 Charter; Town of South Hill.
Introduced by: Richard J. Holland | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Charter; Town of South Hill. Updates the town charter by replacing a long list of powers with a reference to the uniform powers in Title 15.1 which are routinely granted to cities and towns. Also, provisions regarding the election and composition of the town council are updated to conform to general law; the council will be required to set council salaries in January preceding the election rather than April; and references to the town sergeant are replaced with the chief of police.
