FINAL LIST OF RECOMENDATIONS (17)


1. Preamble (Sec 1-3):
  • Recommendation: A Charter Review committee will be convened annually by the Mayor. The committee shall consist of city resident electors: three (3) appointments by the Mayor; one (1) appointment by each ward councilperson; and one (1) appointment by the President of Council. The Law Director will appoint one (1) secretary to the Commission.
  • Reason: The committee feels that waiting four years to review the charter is too long. There is too much to review. With a standing committee in place, issues can be addressed on a more regular basis. The committee also feels that the current selection process was fair. The Mayor and every member of City Council feel the same.
