Eligibility to Hold Elective Office. <br /> No person shall be eligible to hold elective office unless he or she shall have <br /> been a registered voter and resident of the City for a period of at least one <br /> (1) year next preceding his or her election. Residence and voting within the <br /> limits of any territory which has been included in, annexed to, or <br /> consolidated with the City is construed to have been residence within the <br /> City.A Mayor or Council member shall hold within the City government no <br /> other public office or employment. <br /> Is hereby amended to read as follows: <br /> Sec. 2.2 Eligibility to Hold Elective Office. <br /> No person shall be eligible to hold elective office unless he or she shall <br /> have been a registered voter and resident of the City, and, for Council <br /> positions elected from Council districts, a resident of an applicable <br /> Council district, for a period of at least one (1)year next six(6)months <br /> prior to the primary election date preceding his or her election. Council <br /> members must remain City residents while in office and must remain <br /> residents of any Council district from which elected. However, if a <br /> Council member is elected to a Council district position for which he or <br /> she is qualified by residence at the time of election, and while remaining <br /> in that residence later does not qualify as a resident of the relevant district <br /> because a new districting plan including new district boundaries has been <br /> adopted during his or her term,that Council member shall remain eligible <br /> to serve in the same district position until the end of his or her term or <br /> until a successor is elected and qualified, whichever is later.Residence and <br /> voting within the limits of any territory which has been included in, <br /> annexed to, or consolidated with the City or with a Council district <br /> through redistricting, is construed to have been residence within the City <br /> or Council district, respectively.A Mayor or Council member shall hold <br /> within the City government no other public office or employment. <br /> Nothing herein shall prevent a district Council member from seeking election <br /> to any at-large Council position prior to expiration of that member's current <br /> term. Similarly, an at-large Council member may seek election to any district <br /> Council position prior to the expiration of that member's current term subject <br /> to qualification by residents with the district. <br /> 14 <br />
