Charter Election Proposition W

Shall Section 2.17 “Induction of Council into office” of the Charter of the Town of Addison, Texas, be amended to clarify that the first meeting of the City Council following an election of members of the City Council shall be the meeting to canvass the election as provided by state law and the first order of business shall be to canvass the election, declare the results and seat the newly elected members?

Impact

This change more clearly describes the process and timing by which the results of elections for council members are canvassed and when the newly elected council members are sworn in and take office.
