SB 8

Abstract

This Act makes the Wilmington city auditor an elected position beginning with the 2018 election. This Act also provides for the city auditor to serve a 4 year term and for vacancies in the office to be filled by Wilmington city council. Additionally, this Act makes clear that the city auditor is the head of the auditing department and is to exercise independent control of the department; however, the auditor is to annually report to the mayor, council, and the public on the audits performed. Amendments made by this Act may require action by Wilmington City Council to conform City Ordinances to the Charter.
