SECTION
1.
An
Act reincorporating and providing a new charter for the City of Austell in Cobb
and Douglas counties, approved March 28, 1986 (Ga. L. 1986,
p. 4902), as amended, is amended by striking subsection (a) of Section 5.15
and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (a) to read as
follows:
"(a)(1)
For the purpose of electing the members of the city council, the City of Austell
is hereby divided into four wards which shall be and correspond to those four
numbered districts described in and attached to the Redistricting Plan
Components Report made a part of this Act and further identified as Plan Name:
ausccp1 Plan Type: Local User: Gina Administrator: Austell.
(2)
When used in such attachment, the terms 'Tract' and 'BG' (Block Group) shall
mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of
the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2000 for the
State of Georgia. The separate numeric designations in a Tract description
which are underneath a 'BG' heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks
within a Block Group as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for
the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia. Any part
of the City of Austell which is not included in any such district described in
that attachment shall be included within that district contiguous to such part
which contains the least population according to the United States decennial
census of 2000 for the State of Georgia. Any part of the City of Austell which
is described in that attachment as being in a particular district shall
nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous
to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that
district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according
to the United States decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia. Except
as otherwise provided in the description of any district, whenever the
description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean the
geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the United
States decennial census of 2000 for the State of Georgia.
(3)
Wards 1, 2, 3, and 4 as they existed on January 1, 2006, shall continue to be
designated as Wards 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, but as newly described under
this subsection, and, on and after the effective date of this subsection, such
members of the board serving from those former districts shall be deemed to be
serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described
under this
section."
SECTION
2.
The
governing authority of the City of Austell shall through its legal counsel cause
this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of
1965, as amended, no later than 30 days after the date on which this Act is
approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such
approval.
SECTION
3.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are
repealed.
