Metropolitan Council Special Called Meeting, April 10, 2023

Councilmembers,

The District 52 seat in the Tennessee State House of Representatives was vacated by adoption of HR0065 on April 6, 2023.

When the seat of any member of either house becomes vacant, Article 2, Section 15 of the Tennessee State Constitution places the onus on the local legislative body to elect an interim successor to serve until a special election occurs to fill the vacancy where a vacancy is created more than 12 months prior to the end of the member’s term. The interim successor must be a qualified voter of the district represented.

Pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Metropolitan Charter and Rule 49 of the Council Rules of Procedure, I am calling a Special Meeting of the Metropolitan Council on Monday, April 10, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber for the following purposes:

• to announce the vacancy of the Tennessee House of Representatives District 52 seat;
• to discuss Council Rule 49 procedures for filling vacancies in offices of public officials; and
• if determined by the Council, vote on the election of an interim successor.

Jim Shulman
Vice Mayor
