House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes. Further amends Sections 13.2 and 13.3 of the Charter of the City of Durham, SL 1975-671, as amended to allow the City Council to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy occurring in the office of Mayor or a member of City Council within 120 days of the vacancy (previously, required the appointment of a qualified person and did not specify a time frame). Requires the City Council to adopt a resolution calling a special election to fill the vacancy if the City Council does not appoint an individual to fill such vacancy within 120 days; requires that the resolution be adopted within seven days of the expiration of the 120 day period (current law requires the City Council to choose a person within 60 days of the vacancy, and if the Council fails to do so within that time period, the Council is barred from choosing and must call a special election by adopting a resolution within seven days of the 60-day period). Makes a technical change to Section 1, amending which laws have previously amended Section 13.2 of the Charter.
