We have examined the proposed amendment in light of the Home Rule Cities Act, 1909 PA 279, MCL 117.1 et seq, and other applicable law, and recommend that you approve the same. We have examined the ballot language for the proposed amendment, and approve the same. It is noted that the proposed section 4.8 would not apply to vacancies created by recall elections. Vacancies created by recall elections are to be filled, according to section 3.15 of the city charter, in the manner prescribed by state law. The requirements for an election to fill a vacancy in a city office created by a recall election are set forth in section 971 of the Michigan Election Code, MCL 168.971.
