A review of that issuel by staff brought into focus that there were several other references in the Charter that have also been rendered moot by legislative changes or simply The attached proposal shows various sections oft the City Charter that either need to be revised as obsolete (e.g., protest petitions, extra-territorial jurisdiction) as well as sections that Council may wish1 tor revise (e.g, execution of contracts). With each proposed revision staff1 has triedt toi include ai note int the right-hand margin to explain the rationale for the proposed change. Although there are certain revisions tot the City Charter that a City Council can make on its own initiative (e.g., length of terms, staggered terms, etc.), a wholesale revision oft this magnitude and with regard to these topics must be done by the North Carolina General Assembly. If Council wishes toj pursue what isi ine effect a "housekeeping" clean-up oft the Charter, it would: need toj pass al Resolution asking our local legislative delegation to introduce a bill next session making the requested changes. The General Assembly has as staff called thel Legislative Drafting Office which willa assist with this matter, andt they may well make recommendations ast to other needed changes. Gastonia's Charter has not been updated since 1991, and the local legislative delegation normally Staff does recommend that the Council ask the local delegation to sponsor al bill making these changes.
