At least once every six (6) years, the City Council must appoint a Charter Review Commission. The last Commission was appointed in 2011. The Commission must consist of at least ten (10) citizens of the City all of whom must be qualified voters in the City. Citizens with previous experience and/or knowledge of the City and its operations are encouraged to apply.
The Charter Review Commission is charged with the following responsibilities:
1. inquire into the operation of the City government under the Charter and determine whether any provisions of the City Charter require revision;
2. propose any recommendations it deems desirable to insure compliance with the Charter of the City government; and
3. report its findings and present its recommendations to the City Council.
The City Council will review a summary of the report presented by the Commission, and may order any amendments suggested to be submitted to the voters of the City. The term of office of the Commission will be for not more than six months. The day and time for meetings of the Commission has not yet been determined.
Appointments to the Charter Review Commission will be reviewed in April 2017. Applications are due by March 31, 2017.
