Council creates city charter commission, appoints mayor and mayor pro tem to explore voter measure for 2026
Summary
Council formed a commission to study the costs and benefits of adopting a city charter and appointed Mayor Chris Pimentel and Mayor Pro Tem Ryan Baldino as commissioners to explore potentially placing a charter question before voters in the 2026 midterm election.
El Segundo City Council on June 17 agreed to create a city charter commission to study the costs and benefits of adopting a charter and possibly placing a charter measure before voters in the November 2026 midterm election.
Council appointed Mayor Chris Pimentel and Mayor Pro Tem Ryan Baldino as members of the commission that will explore whether a charter should be presented to voters and analyze potential costs and benefits. The council directed formation of the commission during the meeting; the record does not show additional membership appointments, a charge document or a timeline beyond the stated plan to evaluate costs and benefits ahead of a potential 2026 ballot.
The council's action was limited to creating the commission and making the two appointments; no final recommendation to place a charter measure on the ballot was made at the June 17 meeting.
