Members of the City Commission
SUBJECT:
Charter Review Resolution
FROM: / -jj � j REFERENCES:
Commissioner Johnny L. Winton
ENCLOSURES:
On May 22, 2000, I convened a workshop to discuss the Charter Review Committee that
I was appointed to chair. Through this process I have learned that a series of events need
to transpire over a short period of time in order to place an item on the November 2000
ballot. The members of the Charter Review Committee would need to be appointed and
that committee would need to meet. Additionally public hearings would need to be held
to allow comment on issues before the committee. Since the Commission is on recess in
August, all recommendations would need to be ratified by the Commission and signed by
the Mayor by the end of July. This information would then need to be delivered to the
County Supervisor of Elections no later than the first week in September. As we quickly
approach June, it is clear to me that the work of this committee cannot be responsibly
accomplished in such a short period of time.
However, I strongly feel that this matter can be concluded in the early fall and presented
as a final report in January 2001.
Attached is a draft resolution that was discussed at the May 22, 2000 workshop. Of
particular importance is the make-up of the committee. I believe it is critically important
that the committee be comprised of members knowledgeable in the workings of a
municipal government, its charters and constitutions... Appointees should be committed to
work on this important endeavor and be without personal agendas. The idea of the
charter review workshop was to discuss the type of people we are trying to attract and to
give me as chairman the flexibility to go out and recruit a number of such individuals.
This proposal is quite flexible and I invite your comments on the proposed attached
resolution. Please feel free to address any comments to the City Attorney's office, or if in
writing, to my office.
