Resolutions are less formal than ordinances.
If the ordinance deals with matters of a general and permanent nature, it is included in the Hampton City Code. If the ordinance deals with matters of a special nature, it is a non-coded ordinance. A motion must be seconded, voted upon, and approved by four or more members to accomplish the action desired. Such appointment must be made within 60 days of the vacancy, and the appointee serves until the next Councilmanic election.
