WHEREAS, it is necessary to modernize the language of the Charter of the City of Charleston to accomplish this end, and to bring the City closer to operating procedures utilized in other municipalities of its size and comparable status; and

No member of the Board of Aldermen shall give orders to any employee or subordinate of the municipality other than the Alderman’s personal staff.

5. For the purposes of determining a quorum of the Board of Aldermen, it shall be necessary that a majority of those elected to the Board of Aldermen be present at a meeting in order to do business.
6. The Amendment to the Charter of the City of Charleston adopted on January 4, 2000, which provides for the salaries of the Mayor and the Board of Commissioners of the City of Charleston should stand repealed and in place thereof will be inserted the following:
The salaries of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and City Clerk and other employees of the City of Charleston shall be determined by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Charleston by Resolution providing for such salaries. Salaries established shall not be arbitrary and unreasonable when considered with the municipal resources and duties of the office.

8. It is further resolved and ordered that this Resolution be published in The Sun-Sentinel, a legal newspaper published in the City of Charleston, for three weeks, after which the proposed amendment shall be submitted to the Governor and shall submit the same to the Attorney General for his opinion. If after said publication for three weeks, one tenth (1/10) of the qualified electors of the municipality shall protest against the proposed amendment, then it shall be submitted to the qualified electors in an election, wherein if ratified by a majority of the electors of the municipality voting in such election, the amendment shall be made to said Charter. In the event within three (3) days from the last publication that 1/10 of the qualified electors do not protest against the amendment, then said amendment shall be made to said Charter.
Dated this the 4 day of January, 2022.
