Bill > SB195

This bill amends the Charter of the Town of Delmar to make several modifications to its election and bonding procedures. First, it changes the candidate notification period from 10 to 30 days before an election, requiring candidates to inform the Town Manager in writing about their candidacy. The bill also updates the election frequency terminology from "biannually" (twice a year) to "biennially" (every two years). Additionally, the bill modifies voter registration rules, allowing the town to deny voter registration to individuals who are no longer residents of Delmar or are otherwise disqualified under the town's charter. Perhaps most significantly, the bill increases the town's bonding limit from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000, giving the Town Council more financial flexibility to issue bonds for municipal purposes. The changes require Town Council approval through a resolution, which must specify the amount, purpose, and securing method of the bond issuance. These amendments aim to provide more clarity and operational flexibility for the Town of Delmar's governance and financial management.
