The Village reviews proposed charter revisions and ballot-planning options
Summary
Staff reviewed about 26 proposed charter updates including council term lengths, mayoral induction timing, residency requirement language and interim manager provisions; council discussed grouping items on the ballot versus submitting separately.
Staff told council they had prepared suggested charter updates covering roughly 26 items, including changes to council terms (possible change to three-year terms was discussed), mayoral induction timing, residency requirements for city manager, and language to clarify interim city manager and treasurer/clerk arrangements.
Council discussed how items should appear on the ballot: some items could be combined and ratified together, while others may need separate submissions if they are not related. Staff also noted the codification process and the need to align charter language with state statute where applicable.
No formal action or vote to place specific charter items on a ballot was recorded in the transcript; council asked staff to collect feedback and proceed as appropriate.
