Bill > SB1439

This bill proposes to change the charter of the City of Germantown by making the mayor's position a full-time role. Specifically, the bill requires the mayor to devote their full attention to mayoral duties and serve the city in a full-time capacity. The salary for this full-time position will be determined by ordinance from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and the salary will be set in a manner appropriate to the typical duties and obligations of a full-time mayor. The bill is contingent upon voter approval through a binding referendum, which will be held either on the first Tuesday of May 2026 (if a primary election is also held in Shelby County that day) or on August 6, 2026 (during the Shelby County general election). During this election, voters will directly vote to approve or reject the proposed change to the city charter. If approved, the bill will take effect after the votes are counted and the results are certified by county election commissioners.
