Demorest weighs charter change that could speed ordinance approvals
Demorest City Council discussed a proposed amendment to the city charter’s ordinance procedures during its Dec. 2, 2025, work session, including a possible process for allowing certain ordinances to be approved after one reading. The proposal would replace part of Charter Section 2.22(b), titled “Ordinance Form; Procedures,” but the minutes do not record a vote or final action.

The next public step would be a later council agenda, minutes or other formal record showing whether the home-rule ordinance returned for action and whether the attorney completed his review of the quorum question. Until then, residents cannot know whether Section 2.22(b) will change, whether one-read ordinances will be allowed, or what limits would apply.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
