ReduGtioR Re\•ie·N
22. 21-582 Item Submitted by Councilmember Posey Approved as Amended -Convening a
Citizen's Charter Review Commission
Councilmember Posey stated his objective is to honor the vote that was made 12 years ago when
voters approved the amended Charter, and directed Council to review the Charter every ten years.
Councilmember Posey added that Mr. Gandall's Public Speaker comments and Steve Hagerman's
email did not go unnoticed, as he amended this item by changing it from the formation of an Ad Hoc
Committee to a Citizen's Charter Review Commission to ensure transparency. He further stated his
desire to see a more definitive process to address how an unexpected Council vacancy is filled and to
clarify when a Special Election is appropriate, a review of term limits , and how to address State housing
bills, which usually violate the City's Charter.
City Manager Chi confirmed staff would report back in two weeks on what the process should look like.
Mayor Pro Tern Delgleize confirmed with Councilmember Posey that the first step is to convene the
Charter Review Commission, Council review of any Commission recommendations , and then getting
any recommendations on the ballot for the voters' decision.
Councilmember Kalmick stated his support for the amended item and expectation that Charter
inconsistencies as well as antiquated language will also be addressed.
Councilmember Bolton stated her support for this amended item, as did Councilmember Moser.
A motion was made by Posey, second Delgleize to recommend that the City Council direct the
formation of a City Council Ad Hoc Citizen's Charter Review Committee Commission to develop and
submit for consideration Charter update language, as amended to request a staff report on August
17, 2021, to define the process.
