Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend an Act providing a new charter for the City of Barnesville, approved March 11, 1987 (Ga. L. 1987, p. 3865), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 12, 2005 (Ga. L. 2005, p. 3510), so as to change the description of the election districts for the city council; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for continuation in office of current members; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the City of Barnesville's charter to redefine the geographical boundaries of the five election districts used to elect city council members. It specifies that these districts are based on the geographical boundaries from the 2020 United States decennial census, using terms like "VTD" (Voting Tabulation District) and "Block" to define specific areas. The bill also clarifies how any parts of the city not explicitly included in a district will be assigned to the closest district with the least population, and how non-contiguous areas will be handled. Importantly, current city council members will continue to serve their full terms, and their districts will be considered the newly described ones. The bill also replaces the existing description of these districts with a new one, detailed in Appendix B.
