The Hazleton Home Rule Study Commission is drafting a Mayor article for the city's home rule charter, using the current Third Class City Code and Optional Plan B as the structural foundation. The document outlines preliminary drafting assumptions on three key mayoral requirements: minimum age eligibility (currently 18, same as council members); residency qualification (Commission consensus favors two years of continuous residency preceding election, with the mayor required to maintain city residency during their term); and vacancy procedures (City Council appoints a replacement to serve until the next municipal election occurring more than 200 days after the vacancy). The Commission is soliciting feedback on these assumptions before providing formal drafting instructions to Pennsylvania Economy League staff to begin charter article development.
