AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 197, VOLUME 54 OF THE LAWS OF DELAWARE, AS AMENDED, ENTITLED "AN ACT REVISING THE PRIOR CHARTER OF THE CITY OF REHOBOTH BEACH AND ESTABLISHING A NEW CHARTER THEREFOR AND PRESCRIBING THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF REHOBOTH BEACH" RELATING TO THE CITY OF REHOBOTH BEACH.

This Act amends the City Charter for the City of Rehoboth Beach by deleting the requirement that the City Solicitor have an office in Sussex County. This Act restates the section concerning auditors. This Act also deletes all reference to a Board of Health. This Act further raises the amount of taxes that may be levied and collected upon real estate within the City from $1,000,000.00 to $3,000,000.00 to address the increase in the value of property within the City. In addition, this Act removes the previous requirement that any annual appropriation which is made by The Commissioners under any City pension plan or any City health and welfare plan, or both, shall not exceed a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the total annual payroll of the City. This Act further addresses a scenario to which the City Charter was previously silent concerning requirements for the installation, repair, or replacement of sidewalks, curbs, or gutters, when exactly fifty percent (50%) of the lots on a block have such amenities and exactly fifty percent (50%) of the lots on a block do not have such amenities. Finally, this Act clarifies that all taxes levied, assessed, and collected pursuant to Section 42A of the City Charter shall be of an amount consistent with Title 22, Chapter 16, Revised Code of Delaware, 1974, and all amendments thereto.
