What is the process the City Charter Commission follows?

The Charter Review Commission met 12 times from January 2019 through June 2019.  Their role was to re-examine the Charter and review proposed changes presented by city administrators and the general public.  During these public meetings, the commission members reviewed the entire Charter and solicited input from City administrators and the general public for proposed language changes and updates to the charter.   The Commission decided on proposed amendments in public hearings.   Following these hearings, the Commission presented the proposed amendments to City Council for approval to place the amendment on the ballot.   The amendments will become part of the Charter if a majority of voters approve them on November 5, 2019.
