§ 5.4. Wards.

Latest version.

A.

The City shall be divided into three wards, the boundaries of which shall be changed only by an ordinance adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Council.

B.

The boundaries of the wards established pursuant to this Section shall not be changed more often than once in six (6) years, unless change is necessary to conform to constitutional apportionment requirements. Territory added to the City shall become a part of such ward or wards as may be determined by ordinance, but this shall not prevent apportionment to conform to constitutional requirements.

C.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Charter, no change in boundaries of wards shall create a vacancy during the term of any Councilmember in office at the time of the change.
