AI Summary
This bill, concerning the City Administrator of South Pittsburg, proposes to change the residency requirement for this official, who is a key administrative position within the city government. Previously, the City Administrator was required to live within the city limits. However, this bill, if approved by the City of South Pittsburg's Board of Mayor and Commissioners with a two-thirds vote, would remove that strict requirement. Instead, the City Administrator would be allowed to live anywhere within a 50-mile radius of the city's boundaries, though they would still need to establish residency within this radius within 90 days of starting their job. This change aims to broaden the pool of potential candidates for the City Administrator position by offering more flexibility in where they can reside.
