§ 503. LIMITATION OF TERMS OF OFFICE.


Latest version.
  • No person elected to the office of Councilmember or Mayor for two (2) consecutive terms shall again be eligible to hold that same office until one (1) full intervening term of four (4) years has elapsed. The offices of Mayor and Councilmember shall be considered separate offices for the purpose of applying this provision so that service of two (2) full terms in one (1) office shall not act as a bar to service of two (2) full terms in the other. If a person serves a partial term in excess of twenty-six (26) months, it shall be considered a full term for the purpose of this provision. This limitation applies prospectively to terms to which persons have been elected commencing with the 2003 general municipal election.
