Charter Review Commission

Background

At a Special Called Council Meeting in May 2020, a brief overview of proposed Charter Amendments was brought before council. At the meeting, the decision was made to have each councilmember appoint one member to a seven-member Charter Review Commission. In June 2020, council appointed seven charter commission members, creating the Charter Review Commission. The Charter Review Commission’s responsibilities are to review the proposed changes and present those to Council for consideration. From there, council will determine the amendments to bring before the voters.

For any revisions to the charter to be included as part of the City's May 2021 election, the Commission will need to make recommendations to the City Council by mid-February 2021.  The Council will consider the Commission's recommendations, make changes to those recommendations and can add their own recommendations prior to deciding whether or not to call an election. The Commission's meeting agendas will be posted here and each meeting will include an opportunity for public input.
