The names and boundaries of voting tabulation districts, tracts, block groups, and blocks specified in this section are as shown on the 2010 Census Redistricting TIGER/Line Shapefiles. If any voting tabulation district boundary is changed, that change shall not change the boundary of a district, which shall remain the same as it is depicted by the 2010 Census Redistricting TIGER/Line Shapefiles. If any voting tabulation district, tract, block group, or block assigned to a district does not contain a portion of the City, the assignment of the voting tabulation district, tract, block group, or block does not alter or change the municipal limits of the City and only those areas within the municipal limits are assigned to the district. If any area within the City is not assigned to a specific district by this section, then that area shall be assigned as follows:

(1) If the area is entirely surrounded by a single district, the area shall be deemed to have been assigned to that district.

(2) If the area is contiguous to two or more districts, the area shall be deemed to have been assigned to that district which contains the least population according to the 2010 United States Census."

SECTION 2.(d) Section 3.23(b) of the Charter of the City of Greensboro, as set forth in Section 1 of Chapter 1137 of the Session Laws of 1959, as amended by Chapter 213 of the Session Laws of 1973 and Chapter 896 of the Session Laws of 1989, reads as rewritten:

"(b) The Mayor shall be considered and given the same status as a member of the Council for the purpose of determining a quorum of the City Council and ~~for the purpose of voting.~~ may vote only in the case of a tie amongst the members of the City Council. Provided, further, the Mayor shall have a vote in the consideration of the employment, discipline, or dismissal of the City Manager and the City Attorney. A majority of the members of the Council shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a less number may adjourn from time to time and compel the attendance of absent members by ordering them to be taken into custody. The affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Council shall be necessary to adopt any ordinance.
