HB 1059 North Carolina House · 2023-2024 Session

Town of Bermuda Run/Charter Amendments.

This bill amends the charter of the Town of Bermuda Run to change how town officials are elected and how certain town employees are managed. It shifts the election method from a primary system to a nonpartisan plurality system, meaning candidates are elected directly by voters without an initial primary round. The legislation also grants the Town Manager the authority to appoint, suspend, or remove most town officers and employees, with the exception of the Town Attorney, and clarifies that the Town Clerk will be appointed by the Manager rather than the Council. Additionally, the bill sets a specific rule for property tax increases, requiring a majority vote from residents participating in a referendum if the proposed rate hike exceeds fifteen cents per one hundred dollars of valuation.
