Bill > SB457

This bill amends the Act incorporating the City of Mulberry to clarify the city's powers and how it can provide services, allowing it to contract with private parties or other governmental entities for services like planning, zoning, community development, economic development, code enforcement, and waste and storm-water management. It also establishes the position of a city manager, who will be the chief administrative officer appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the city council, responsible for overseeing city operations and employees, and outlines the process for their removal, including severance pay. Additionally, the bill introduces staggered terms for city councilmembers, with some elected to four-year terms and others to two-year terms in the 2027 election, and four-year terms thereafter, to ensure continuity in governance.
