BACKGROUND

The 2021 Charter Review Commission held a series of seven meetings to consider possible amendments to the San Marcos City Charter. The Commission concluded its work on May 10, 2021 and approved the attached final report.  The report includes  a list of recommended charter amendments with a purpose statement for each recommendation and a redlined copy of the charter showing the proposed  text of each amendment. The minutes of the Commission’s meetings are also included in the report.
