Introduced by: J. Chapman Petersen | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Charter; City of Fairfax. Amends the charter for the City of Fairfax by changing the date of the first meeting of the newly elected City Council members from the first Tuesday of July following their election to the second Tuesday of July following their election or at the first scheduled regular or special meeting of the City Council in July, whichever occurs first. Additionally, the charter is amended so that revenue bonds may be issued by the City without holding a bond referendum, as the charter currently requires. This bill is identical to HB 1742.
