RESOLUTION (CHARTER) NO. 1976-49
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL of Ocean
City, Maryland to amend the TOWN CHARTER OF OCEAN CITY,
MARYLAND to make residency a mandatory requirement and
qualification for the right to vote in municipal
elections, and repealing the provisions extending the
voting privilege to non-resident property owners by
amending Section 175 (Code Section C—403) "Qualifications
of Voters".
WHEREAS on January 5, 1976 the Mayor and City
Council of Ocean City, Maryland passed and adopted a
Charter Amendment entitled in part "Resolution (Charter)
No. 1976—3" which by its terms made residency a mandatory
requirement for voter qualification in municipal
elections; and
WHEREAS a case has been filed in the circuit court
for Worcester County, Maryland by Ocean City Taxpayers
for Equal Rights, Inc., Alice Vlach, Carlton H. Miller,
Betty C. Miller, Robert H. Morris, Louise A. Roche,
George F. Ledger, Buford B. Vogel, Jo Ann Vogel, Robert
E. Warfield and David M. Sherline against the Mayor and
City Council of Ocean City, Maryland, and others in which
case, among other issues, the Complainants allege that
the said "Resolution (Charter) No. 1976—3" was void
because the subject of the said Charter Amendment was not
sufficiently described in its title and because it
contained more than one subject; and
WHEREAS the Mayor and City Council of Ocean City,
Maryland while not agreeing as to the existence of any
such deficiencies, is desirous of further clarifying and
confirming that residency be a mandatory requirement for
voter qualification.
[Section 175 of the Code of Public Local Laws of
Worcester County, repealed and reenacted, with
amendments.
