§ 2.03. Election and term of office.

(a)

Election and term of office. Each Councilmember and the Mayor shall be elected at-large for four-years in the manner provided in Article V of this Charter.

(b)

Limitations on lengths of service. For the purposes of determining length of service, a "Term" shall be defined as serving any period of time as either Mayor or Councilmember. No person shall serve as either Mayor or Councilmember for more than two consecutive elected terms. An individual who has served two consecutive terms as a Councilmember or as Mayor must be out of office for the length of one term, four years, before seeking reelection in the same position previously held. This period out of office would not apply to individuals who have served two consecutive terms as a Councilmember and seek the position of Mayor or who have served two consecutive terms as Mayor and seek the position of Councilmember. An individual who is appointed to the position of Councilmember for a period of six (6) months, or less, shall not be considered to have served a term. An individual who is elected to the position of Councilmember or Mayor for a period of one (1) year, or less, shall not be considered to have served a term.
