Background Information:

On February 5, 2019 the City Council discussed potentially amending the City Charter and whether or not to assemble a charter review commission.  The Council reached a consensus not to appoint a charter review commission, but directed Staff to schedule this item for additional discussion at a future work session.

 

The charter was last amended in November of 2017.  The Council placed 23 propositions on the ballot following discussion and consideration of the Charter Review Commission’s recommendations.  All propositions were approved.
