SECTION 16.3 – AUTHORITY FOR CHAPTER XVI (the HDC charter amendment)

Please note that I’ve referred to the Local Historic Districts Act (MCL 399.201, et seq) as the LHDA, the Clarkston ordinance (152.01, et seq of the Clarkston Code of Ordinances) as the Clarkston Ordinance, and the HDC charter proposal as the Charter Proposal.

 

Discussion:

LHDA, MCL 399.213 – Allows the city council to prescribe the powers and duties of the HDC in addition to the those prescribed in the LHDA that foster historic preservation activities, projects, and programs in the city.

Clarkston Ordinance, 152.01 – Enacted under the authority of the LHDA.

Charter Proposal – Enacted under the authority of the LHDA; Article 7, Section 22 of the Michigan Constitution (city authority to adopt and amend charter and ordinances); and Chapter 117 of Michigan’s Compiled Laws (the Home Rule City Act).
