COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
34. 19-097 Approved City Councilmember Item submitted by Councilmember Posey for the
January 22, 2019 City Council meeting — Formation of a Charter Review
Commission
Councilmember Posey explained that in his review of the City Charter, Section 804, Charter Review,
stipulates that the City Council shall determine if there is a need to convene a citizen's Charter Review
Commission to conduct a review of the City Charter no less frequently than every ten years. The last
Charter Review was completed in 2009. Councilmember Posey further stated he believes it would be
prudent for the Council to convene a Commission of experts to review the Charter to determine if
changes are needed to preserve the City's autonomy as a Charter City.
Councilmember Delgleize and Councilmember Posey discussed details related to the composition of the
Commission and process.
Councilmember Carr stated her support for conducting a Charter Review every ten (10) years

Councilmember Brenden confirmed that he served on the Charter Review Commission in 2009, and
stated his support for this item.
Councilmember Hardy expressed her recollection that in 2009 it had been nearly twenty (20) years since
there had been a Charter review and there were specific issues that needed attention. She does not
think there are currently Charter issues that need to be addressed, and therefore will not support this
item.
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta and City Manager Wilson discussed details related to the process and costs in
2009.
Councilmember Carr suggested it would be beneficial to look at three experts in selecting a Charter
Review Consultant.
Mayor Peterson stated that he agrees with Councilmember Hardy's comments, and doesn't see any
specific needs that should be addressed, and therefore he will not support this item.
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta and Councilmember Hardy both stated that if the scope of the proposed Charter
Review included some specific issues to be addressed they could be more supportive.
City Attorney Gates stated that the City Charter is currently as broad as it can be to invoke every
authority the California Constitution affords, and in his opinion there is nothing more to do to strengthen
the City Charter.
A motion was made by Posey, second Brenden to direct the City Manager to convene the Charter
Review Commission to be made up of 15 members — 7 appointed individually by each of the City
Council Members and 8 to be appointed by the City Council as a whole; and retain the services of a
Charter Review Consultant to assist the Commission and staff in the review of the Charter.
