Bill > HB552

This bill amends the City of Williamsburg's charter to align its municipal election schedule with state law, moving elections from May to November, specifically the Tuesday following the first Monday of November, with newly elected council members taking office on January 1st. It also replaces the title "director of finance" with "chief financial officer" throughout the charter, clarifying that this individual holds all the rights and duties of a finance director and that any references to the former title in the city code now refer to the chief financial officer. Additionally, the bill modifies provisions regarding the transfer of unencumbered appropriation balances, allowing the city manager to transfer funds between departments or activities within a fund, and the council to transfer funds between different funds upon the city manager's recommendation.
