Latest version.

  • No person who has been elected after the effective date of this section to the office of mayor for four successive two-year terms shall be eligible to run for election to the office of mayor until at least one term has elapsed. Provided, any person elected or appointed to the office of mayor to fill an unexpired term of one year or less shall be eligible to serve four successive two-year terms. Any person elected or appointed to the office of mayor to fill an unexpired term of more than one year shall only be eligible to serve three successive two-year terms.
