Bill > SB112

This bill amends the charter of the City of Colonial Heights to update the duties of the City Manager and City Attorney. The key changes include: 1. Eliminating the City Attorney's duties to the school board and school superintendent, and clarifying the City Attorney's role as the legal advisor to the City Council, City Manager, and all city departments, boards, commissions, and agencies. 2. Updating the City Attorney's powers and duties, such as preparing ordinances and resolutions, drafting or approving city contracts and documents, managing the city's legal affairs, and employing deputy and assistant city attorneys. 3. Removing outdated provisions related to city appropriations, purchasing, and capital improvement projects, and instead requiring the city and school board to comply with general public procurement laws and policies. The bill also repeals several sections of the city's existing charter, including those related to the qualifications, appointment, and compensation of the City Attorney.
