COMMITTEE
20170416 Judicial Relief Under Home Rule pursuant to Article IX, Paragraph II of
Georgia Constitution
Consideration of pursuing judicial relief under Home Rule pursuant to Article
IX, Paragraph II of Georgia Constitution to mandate the Charter Amendment of
Section 2.4 of City Charter which was unreasonably denied by the Georgia
Legislature. Said provisions of the proposed City Charter Amendment dealt
with Term Limits and clarification of election date of November rather than the
incorrect October, both of which are Constitutional and Reasonable. OCGA §
36-35-6(1) should not bar the Georgia Constitution provision of Home Rule as
the proposed amendments meet the ultimate of Home Rule based upon being
mandated overwhelmingly by the Citizens directly (80% majority vote) and did
not alter the composition or the makeup of Mayor and Council, thus reasonable
and constitutional. Further, to deny by a lack of public and open action the right
of the City to correctly state the election month which is statutorily provided
should be done by judicial since not approved by the Georgia Legislature.
