At the meeting the committee put on the public record seven new topic submissions for the charter review process. Staff member Shemoya summarized submissions from the public and committee members: eliminating the mayor’s two Board of Estimates appointees; guaranteeing a floor vote for bills stalled in committee after 90 days (each council member could trigger the advance up to three times per year); restoring budgetary authority to the City Council by requiring the mayor to submit a draft rather than a final budget and removing budget veto powers; consolidating offices into executive departments under a city administrator; establishing a recall process for the council president; establishing council accountability over the city administrator; and repealing term limits enacted by Question K in 2022.
Chair Bridal Dorsey said the committee would place new topics into buckets for initial prioritization (consensus with the mayor, council consensus only, or lack of consensus) and that items would be revisited in more depth in future meetings. Several members asked staff to contact submitters and to post or circulate full written proposals via Legistar. The committee did not take action on any of the new submissions beyond logging them and assigning next‑step research.
