Caption

AN ACT to amend Chapter 7 of the Private Acts of 1999; as amended by Chapter 24 of the Private Acts of 2009; Chapter 37 of the Private Acts of 2014; and any other acts amendatory thereto, relative to the City of Milan.

Impact

Additionally, HB1428 revises the terms for executing contracts at the city level by increasing the threshold amount that the Mayor can authorize without prior approval from the board. Contracts not exceeding ten thousand dollars can be executed by the Mayor, while larger contracts will require board approval. This amendment aims to streamline municipal operations and enhance efficiency while maintaining oversight on more substantial financial decisions.

Summary

House Bill 1428 seeks to amend specific provisions of the Private Acts of 1999 concerning the governance of the City of Milan, Tennessee. This bill primarily addresses the process for filling vacancies in the office of Alderman, extending the period within which the board must make such appointments from thirty days to sixty days. The intent behind this change is to provide more time for the selection of qualified successors, thus ensuring that the governance remains stable and effective during transitional periods.

Contention

Notably, the bill also removes specific provisions related to the City Recorder, which may reflect an effort to simplify roles within the city's administration. However, the amendments to the property sale processes, which state that surplus property valued over $2,500 must receive board approval prior to sale, could generate discussions regarding the authority and responsibilities of city officials. The bill remains contingent upon receiving a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of Milan, indicating a need for substantial local support to enact these changes.
