Bill > SB0046

This bill modifies the municipal government structure of the City of Celina, Tennessee, by increasing the number of aldermen from three to five. Specifically, the bill changes three key aspects of the city's governance: First, it updates the election language to reflect that on the first Tuesday in June 2025, five aldermen (instead of three) will be elected at-large for four-year terms. Second, it revises the composition of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to now include five aldermen instead of three, while maintaining that all corporate and legislative powers remain vested in this board. Third, the bill adjusts the voting requirements, changing from a requirement of at least two board members to pass motions, resolutions, or ordinances to now requiring a majority vote of the board. The bill will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the City of Celina's legislative body, and once approved, the changes will be certified to the Tennessee Secretary of State. This modification appears designed to potentially increase representation and potentially improve decision-making processes within the city's local government.
