[VonAulus 2082]

 

DECLARATION OF THE 2nd OF SNOWS MAIDEN, 1671.

 

IT IS HEREBY STATED BY HIS LORDSHIP, JOHN I SARKOZIC, DUKE OF ADRIA:

 

• IN HIS LORDSHIP’S EYES, the people of Belvitz have long been underrepresented in their own government, the only elected position being held by the Maer.
• IN ITS PLACE, a new system of representation is being put forth for the people of Belvitz to associate themselves politically. The position of ALDERMAN is being created in order to fill the DESIRES of the PEOPLE to participate in the governance of the CITY of BELVITZ.
• ALDERMEN ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF BELVITZ, and must be landowners within the city. Man or woman, human or elf, can sit on the council. You must be of legal age within Renatus. 
• ELECTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ALONGSIDE MAYORAL ELECTIONS to decide on who the Alderman will be. A simple majority is needed to be seated on the council.
• THE MAER CALLS THE ALDERMAN TO BENCH WEEKLY in order to discuss ordinances for the city. He can call emergency sessions to address pressing matters with the elevated citizens.
• THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF ALDERMEN, as many as the town decide to elect shall represent the city of Belvitz.
• AUTONOMY IS TO BE GIVEN TO THE MAER AND THE BENCH to decide between themselves how to conduct these meetings. The Maer must put ordinances in front of the Council for a vote before they are to be passed.
• MEETINGS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL SHOULD BE HELD WITH TRANSPARENCY, and thusly shall be held in the town hall. The meeting place may be changed based on building availability.

 

SIGNED,

JOHN I SARKOZIC, DUKE OF ADRIA, PROTECTOR OF THE MIDLANDS
