SECTION 1.
An Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Glynn County,
approved February 11, 1937 (Ga. L. 1937, p. 1336), as amended, particularly by
an Act approved March 24, 1994 (Ga. L. 1994, p. 4017), is amended by striking
Section 1 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the
following:
"SECTION
1.
(a) There is created the Board of Commissioners of Glynn
County to be composed of seven members to be elected as hereafter provided. For
the purpose of electing members of the board of commissioners, Glynn County
shall be divided into five commissioner districts which shall be and correspond
to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of
this Act and further identified as 'Plan Name: glynnwk6 Plan Type: Local User:
staff Administrator: Glynn.'
(b)(1) For purposes of
this section:
(A) The terms 'Tract' and 'BG' shall
mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of
the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2000 for the
State of Georgia; and
(B) The separate numeric
designations in a Tract description which are underneath a 'BG' heading shall
mean and describe individual Blocks within a Block Group as provided in the
report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of
2000 for the State of Georgia.
(2) Any part of Glynn
County which is not included in any commissioner district described in this
section shall be included within that commissioner district contiguous to such
part which contains the least population according to the United States
decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia.
(3)
Any part of Glynn County which is described in this section as being included in
a particular commissioner district shall nevertheless not be included within
such commissioner district if such part is not contiguous to such commissioner
district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that
commissioner district contiguous to such part which contains the least
population according to the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State
of Georgia.
(c) In addition there shall be two
at-large positions on the board of commissioners which shall be designated
at-large post 1 and at-large post 2.
(d) There shall
be elected to the Board of Commissioners of Glynn County one member from each of
the commissioner districts who shall be elected by the qualified voters of the
commissioner district which he or she represents voting in an election therefor.
There shall be elected to the Board of Commissioners of Glynn County two
at-large members who shall be elected by the qualified voters of the entire
county voting in an election therefor. Candidates for election at large shall
designate the post for which they are candidates; all other candidates shall
offer for election to the board from the commissioner district in which their
legal residence lies.
(e) All members of the board of
commissioners serving in office on July 1, 2002, shall continue to serve until
the expiration of the terms for which they were elected and until their
respective successors are elected and qualified unless otherwise removed from
office as provided by the Constitution and laws of this
state.
(f) The members of the Board of Commissioners
of Glynn County from Commissioner Districts 3, 4, and at-large post 1 shall be
elected at the general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday
in November, 2002. Such members shall take office on January 1 following
their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected
and qualified. The members of the Board of Commissioners of Glynn County from
Commissioner Districts 1, 2, 5, and at-large post 2 shall be elected at the
general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday in November,
2004. Such members shall take office on January 1 following their
election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and
qualified. Successors to members elected under this subsection shall be elected
at the general election next preceding the expiration of terms of office and
shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years
and until their successors are elected and
qualified.
(g) All members of the board shall be
nominated and elected in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A.,
the 'Georgia Election Code.'
(h) Each member of the
board of commissioners serving in office on July 1, 2002, and elected from
former Commissioner District 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 shall on and after said date be
deemed to represent the new Commissioner District 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 in which he
or she resides."
SECTION 2.
It is the purpose of this Act to reapportion the districts
from which members of the Board of Commissioners of Glynn County are to be
elected in the November, 2002, general election and in subsequent general
elections, and this Act results from changes in population based on the United
States decennial census of 2000. It is not the intention of the General Assembly
to affect the membership of current members of the board, their terms of office,
or the manner in which their successors shall be elected, and such matters shall
remain as provided by law on the effective date of this Act until otherwise
amended by law, except to the extent of reapportioning the districts represented
by such members.
SECTION 3.
It shall be the duty of the attorney of the Board of
Commissioners of Glynn County to submit this Act for approval pursuant to
Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as
amended.
SECTION 4.
The provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the
regular election in 2002 of members of the Board of Commissioners of Glynn
County shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its
becoming effective without such approval; and this Act shall otherwise become
effective January 1, 2003.
SECTION 5.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are
repealed
