The 21-member Charter Review Committee has significant responsibilities to research, deliberate and, as it deems appropriate, draft proposed revisions to the City Charter. The City Council has identified twelve topics for the Committee’s consideration. As the Committee moves forward and hears from the community, additional ideas may emerge. The Committee is expected to have its work completed by sometime in the spring 2022.
