Bill > HB41

This bill amends the Charter of the Town of Millsboro by modifying two key sections related to annexation and committee appointments. In the annexation process, the bill now requires that when all property owners in a contiguous territory submit a petition for annexation, Town staff must first review the petition to ensure it is complete before presenting it to the Town Council. The bill also changes the committee appointment process for annexation investigations, now requiring both the Mayor and Town Council to jointly appoint a committee of at least three Council members to investigate potential annexation, rather than the Mayor acting alone. Additionally, the bill updates the Town Council President's committee appointment powers by mandating that committee appointments must be made with the advice and consent of a majority of Town Council members. The legislation further clarifies that all Town Council members have the right to recommend new committees, suggest committee members, and recommend committee chairpersons, ensuring a more collaborative and inclusive approach to municipal governance in Millsboro.
