What is on the agenda for March 31?
The meeting on Tuesday, March 31, will focus on the farewell of the outgoing council. The agenda includes the following topics:
- Review of credentials and admission of new council members; legality of election process
The municipal council, in its current composition, will review the so-called credentials of the new council members after the elections. A small committee from the council has been appointed for this purpose. This legally required review focuses in particular on the requirements of age, place of residence, and incompatible positions. The council will then decide on the admission of the new members.
Additionally, the municipal council will assess whether the recent elections were conducted lawfully, meaning in accordance with the rules. To do so, the council will rely on the minutes of the elections.
- Farewell to council members
A farewell will be given to the council members who will not return to the new municipal council. Speeches will be delivered by the mayor, faction leaders, and the departing council members.
What is on the agenda for April 1?
The meeting on Wednesday, April 1, will focus on the installation of the new municipal council.
- Swearing-in of council members
Before the members of the new municipal council can begin their duties, each must individually take the oath or declaration and promise as prescribed in the Municipalities Act.
