City of Vancouver Proposed Charter Amendment No. 8
Concerning Vancouver City Officer Vacancies The City Council of Vancouver adopted Resolution M-4278 proposing an amendment to the City Charter concerning the criteria under which an office is deemed vacated. If approved, this amendment would modify and clarify the criteria that trigger a vacancy in an elected or appointed City office and would provide that an office is deemed vacant if the office holder is unable to discharge their duties with or without a reasonable accommodation, or if they are absent from the City for 60 consecutive days without permission from City Council. Should this amendment be approved?
