No. If Ordinance No. 361 passes, no county official elected pursuant to the Shelby County Charter can hold another county, state, or federal compensated elective office, except offices of a temporary nature. If the amendment passes, it will apply to the County Mayor and members of the Shelby County Board of Commissioners as well as all other elected county officials. If the amendment fails, there is a similar provision in the Shelby County Charter that applies to the County Commission only. If Ordinance No. 360 passes, creating the charter officers, the amendment will also apply to the Shelby County Sheriff, Trustee, County Clerk, and Assessor.
