Printed herein is the Charter of the city, as adopted by 1974 Ga. Laws (Act No. 560),
adopted Jan. 19, 2010. The Charter was previously adopted by Act No. 324. Amendments
to the Charter are indicated by parenthetical history notes following amended provisions.
The absence of a history note indicates that the provision remains unchanged from
the original act. Obvious misspellings have been corrected without notation. For stylistic
purposes, a uniform system of headings, catchlines and citations to state statutes
has been used. The title, enactment, severability, repealer, transitional, ratification,
publication and effective date provisions have been omitted, and where a section has
been amended or repealed by a later provision, only the current language has been
printed. Additions made for clarity are indicated by brackets.
