Bill > HB1437

This bill proposes several significant changes to the Crossville City Charter, touching on various aspects of city governance. The bill adjusts the compensation structure for the mayor and city council members, setting the mayor's salary at 15% of the Cumberland County Mayor's salary and council members' salaries at 5% of the mayor's salary, with any compensation increases taking effect only after the next election. It establishes a new standard meeting schedule for the city council, requiring regular meetings at 6:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month, and creates guidelines for special meetings with specific notice requirements. The bill also modifies the city court system by defining the city judge's qualifications, powers, and appointment process, and introduces the possibility of administrative hearings. Additionally, the bill increases the maximum occupancy tax from 2% to 3% and updates various administrative and financial provisions, such as tax collection procedures and property assessment rules. The changes will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Crossville City Council, demonstrating a local approval mechanism for these charter amendments.
