Transfer (contrast w/ Preemption); Interlocals Flashcards
Where look to determine a conflict between Charter County and Muni?
Charter.
Whose ordinance prevails, Charter County or Muni?
Depends. Dictated by Charter. It may allow Muni to trump or may preempt. Or it may give Charter preemption power.
How can Charter implement regulatory (as opposed to services) preemption of a Muni?
A single countywide vote to amend Charter & provide for Muni preemption.
Difference in voting for CC to:
- preempt Muni regulatory auth
v.
- transfer Muni services
Preempt = 1 countywide vote to amend Charter
Transfer = 2 votes (CC + Muni)

No, not if Charter provides for regulatory preemption.
