AI Summary

This bill proposes several modifications to the City of Crossville's charter, focusing on changes to municipal governance, compensation, meetings, and financial procedures. The bill adjusts the mayor's salary to be 15% of the Cumberland County Mayor's salary, with council members earning 5% of the mayor's salary, ensuring any compensation increases only take effect after the next election. It establishes a standard city council meeting schedule for the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM, and creates more structured rules for special meetings, including requiring 48-hour written notice and posting the agenda on the city's website. The bill also establishes provisions for a city court with a judge elected by the City Council, grants specific powers to the city judge, and creates a framework for administrative hearings. Additionally, the bill increases the maximum occupancy tax from 2% to 3% and modifies various financial and tax-related procedures, such as how unpaid taxes are handled and the process for tax collection. The bill requires approval by a two-thirds vote of the Crossville legislative body and will only become fully effective after such approval, with the primary goal of updating and clarifying the city's administrative and governance processes.
