The Committee is currently reviewing proposed amendments submitted by the City Council and consider public input regarding potential amendments to the Charter, to include making revisions that:
- implement cost-saving measures;
- eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies or costly obligations;
- continue to modernize and streamline government operations; and
- other changes and improvements that the City Council, City staff, and the Committee deem appropriate.
Residents can visit the Charter website to learn more about the Ad Hoc Charter Advisory Committee and review the proposed amendments approved by the Council, the current charter, the agendas for the committee meetings and much more.
The Committee’s final recommendations on the proposed amendments will be presented to City Council in June. The Council may then make any changes and adopt an ordinance ordering a Charter election on the November 8, 2022 ballot. Residents will then be able to vote on the proposed Charter amendments.
