Demorest’s proposed charter rewrite leaves authority over mayoral backup and city checks unresolved
Demorest City Council considered a proposed Home Rule amendment to the city charter on Dec. 2, 2025 that would revise Section 2.29, the section governing the mayor’s powers and duties. Council materials said the proposal included appointing a mayor pro tem and authorizing a council member to sign city checks, putting leadership continuity and financial authority before the council.

The next public step is a later council record or final ordinance showing whether Section 2.29 was amended and, if so, how it was implemented. Residents will need the adopted text, any appointment of a mayor pro tem and a recorded check-signing designation to know how the city settled the questions raised on Dec. 2.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
