Council accepts final report in its entirety

At its June 24, 2013 meeting, the Council accepted the Chart Revision Commission's final report (Item #27).  Next steps are to set a date for the referendum, which should be the Board of Education election in November, and create ballot questions.

Also, see an addendum to the transmittal letter to Council here.

Final product of the Charter Revision Commission

After conferring with the Court of Common Council and discussing their thoughts on our initial proposed charter changes, we have prepared our final report for submission. The Council has until June 19 to either accept the report in its entirety, accept portions or accept none of it. If they do accept all or part of it, they will prepare appropriate ballot questions for the voters to vote on in November.

Council sends recommendations back to Commission

The Court of Common Council reviewed the Commission's final report and returned it to the Commission with recommendations. You can view the document here.

The Commission will meet next Tuesday, May 21, at 5:00pm in the Council Conference Room to discuss these recommendations.

In the transmittal, the resolution is misdated (everything else is accurate). Here is a copy of the Council's resolution with the proper date.

Report Transmitted to Council

Following the public hearing on Wednesday, the Commission voted to accept its changes and transmit them to the Court of Common Council. Here is the clean copy, the transmittal letter and a redline version.

Stay tuned for the Council's public hearing and other important information.

Revised Charter Draft

Please find the draft charter available here. This is the clean copy and it may be a bit difficult to follow if you're not intimately familiar with the document.

Please find the redline version* of the draft here. This will probably be much easier to follow because the changes are visible.

Please bring your opinions about it to the public hearing next Wednesday.




*The redline is a pdf, because Google Drive doesn't display Microsoft Word's track changes correctly.
