CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION

end                                                        

 

SUMMARY:

                                          

City Charter Section 8.01 - Charter Review Commission states in part:

 

(a)                      Charter Review Commission Established.  During the month of January 2022 and every ten (10) years thereafter, there shall be established a Charter Review Commission (“CRC”); provided, however, that the City Council shall have the power to establish a CRC more often in the event it so chooses.

 

(b)                      Composition.  Every ten (10) years, the Mayor and City Council shall appoint nine members to the CRA.  The CRC shall be composed of nine members.  No members of the CRC shall be elected officials.  Each member of the CRC shall be a City resident and elector.  Vacancies shall be filled within 30 days in the same manner as the original appointments.

 

This item seeks to discuss the first sentence in subsection (b) - “…the Mayor and City Council shall appoint nine members to the CRC,”; hoping to add some clarity to the seeming ambiguity to the sentence.
