Committee agrees to consider five ballot questions proposed by member as a possible local 'Bill of Rights'
Summary
Committee member Max Hurley asked the Charter Review Committee to review a set of five draft questions (described as a local bill of rights). The committee voted to add the proposal to a future meeting agenda for staff and committee consideration.
Committee member Max Hurley presented a short packet containing five draft questions described as a local "Bill of Rights" and asked the committee to consider them for future deliberation. He said the effort was intended to identify community values and present possible charter or ballot language for voters to consider.
Action taken: the committee voted to place the five proposed questions on a future agenda so members and staff can review the draft language. A voice vote carried the motion.
Context: members agreed the proposal should be developed further before any ballot placement and noted it was appropriate to give staff and committee members time to review suggested language and implications. Staff will return the item for additional discussion at a subsequent meeting.
