Hill, Justice,
dissenting.
The city has enacted a home rule ordinance which alters the city council election districts for members of the city council (not its voting precincts) to include the newly annexed areas. That is "Action affecting the composition, form, procedure for election . . . for the members of the Municipal Governing Authority . . .” and thus is not allowed under home rule. Code Ann. § 69-1018 (a) (1); Jackson v. Inman, 232 Ga. 566, 570 (207 SE2d 475) (1974).
I therefore respectfully dissent.
