A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THREE OF THE MEMBERS ELECTED TO THE PINEHURST VILLAGE COUNCIL IN 1995 SHALL SERVE FOUR-YEAR TERMS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The part of the Charter of the Village of Pinehurst added under Part 4 of Article 5 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes by Ordinance 95-17 of the Village Council set out below reads as rewritten:
"At the regular municipal election to be held in 1995, the four candidates who receive the highest number of votes shall be elected for four-year terms, while the candidate who receives the next highest number of votes shall be elected for a two-year term. As provided by G.S. 160A-63, the person appointed to fill a vacancy occurring in 1996 in a four-year term on the Village Council serves only until a successor can be elected in 1997 to serve the remainder of that term. At the regular municipal election to be held in 1997, and every four years thereafter, two members of the Village Council shall be elected to serve for four-year terms.  At the regular municipal election to be held in 1999, and every four years thereafter, three members of the Village Council shall be elected to serve for four-year terms."
Section 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
