Summary
This bill lowers the mayoral age requirement from 30 to 25. This change makes the Mayors age requirement consistent with that for City Councilmen. Under the City s Charter, if the Mayor resigns, dies or is unable to perform his/her duties, the Council President takes the Mayors place. This succession would prove problematic if the Council President does not meet the age requirement for Mayor.
Title
An Act To Amend The Charter Of The City Of Wilmington Relating To Qualifications For Mayor.
