Charter Commission

In 2016 over 10% of registered voters signed a petition to add the creation of a Charter Commission to the November 6th ballot.  Therefore, eight Charter Commissioners were elected, which is one representative from each voting district.  The Charter Commission’s responsibility is to prepare and file the charter proposed by it not later than nine (9) months after the date of its initial meeting, or within such extended limit of time as may be authorized by resolution of the legislative body of the county.
