AN ACT TO AMEND THE CHARTER OF THE TOWN OF MILLSBORO RELATING TO ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY AND THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.

Summary
This Amendment to the Charter of the Town Of Millsboro, in Section 3, amends the process for the initiation of annexation proceedings by allowing a Petition to be reviewed by the Town Staff, to determine the Petition is complete and all required information is contained in the Petition, before being presented to the Town Council. The Town Council will also be included in appointing a Committee to investigate the possibility of annexation by Resolution, instead of solely being the function of the Mayor. It further amends Section 16 by requiring the President of the Town Council to appoint committees with the advice and consent of a majority of the Town Council members. It also clarifies that all members of the Town Council have the right to make recommendations regarding new committees
