Charter Review Commission to hold town hall
Friday, February 2, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
The city’s Charter Review Commission will hold a town hall at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, to discuss upcoming potential changes to the city’s constitution. The potential changes to the city charter must be put on the ballot by City Council and, ultimately, approved by voters. Prior to all of that, though, the review commission works through a number of recommendations, and Thursday’s town hall is part of that process. This time around, commissioners considered changes to petition requirements, elections and other transparency issues. More information about those issues can be found here. To weigh in on the proposals at the Feb. 8 town hall, the public can participate virtually or in person. Registration to speak in either capacity will open online on Feb. 5.
