This Act amends the Charter of the Town of Smyrna ("Charter") to clarify the authority of the Town in certain areas and to improve the operations of the Town. Specifically, in this Act: Section 1 clarifies that when property is annexed into Town, included in the annexation are all adjacent streets, roads, and alleys, up to the center line. Section 2 authorized the Town to impose a lodging tax of up to 3% on hotels, motels, and tourist homes. Section 3 authorizes the Mayor to appoint town officers to terms that mirror the remainder of the Mayor's term. Section 4 clarifies the procedures for abandoning and vacating streets and alleys, including the disposition of abandoned or vacated streets or alleys to adjoining property owners. This bill also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
