MUNICIPAL CHARTERS

Effective Date March 2, 1993]

* Resolutions 93-01 and 93-02 were adopted January 11, 1993. On January 6, 1993, the
Court of Special Appeals of Maryland reversed an order of the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County and ruled that Resolutions 90-09 and 90-10, which amend Sections 905
and 403, respectively, of the. Charter of the City of Seat Pleasant, are invalid and
inoperative since the posting and publication requirements in Article 23A of the
Annotated Code of Maryland were not satisfied. See Frank J. Blackwell v. City Council
for the City of Seat Pleasant, 94 Md. App. 393, 617 A.2d 1110. This ruling may affect the
validity of the purported changes in Resolutions 93-01 and 93-02.
