What is the Charter Review?

The city’s Charter Review process comes once every 10 years, per Article XIII of the Home Rule Charter.

First established in January of 1992, a charter review commission is appointed to review the Charter (essentially the city’s constitution) and recommend any changes to the city council. The commission is made up of nine (9) members, four (4) are appointed by the mayor, and five (5) by the city council. The commission has a maximum of eight (8) months from the date of its appointment to complete a report and submit its findings to the city council.
