Mayor Burriss: charter letter under review; Music Feast date moved and budget schedule set
Summary
Mayor Tony Burriss reported April 28 that he received a letter 'from legislation' concerning a possible charter change about residency requirements for the police chief and city recorder, announced schedule changes for Music Feast and final budget meeting dates, and noted the next council meeting on May 12, 2026.
Mayor Tony Burriss used his report April 28 to provide scheduling updates and to flag a potential charter issue.
Burriss told the council he received a letter "from legislation" about a proposed change to the city charter. He said the charter currently states the police chief and the city recorder do not have to live within city limits to remain employed by the city and that the sender "would have a decision soon." The transcript records the mayor describing the receipt of the letter but does not include additional detail on the sender, specific proposed language, or timetable beyond the mayor's statement that a decision was forthcoming.
The mayor also said Music Feast had been moved to Thursday, April 30, at 5:30 p.m., reminded the council that the next budget meeting would be May 13 (the last budget meeting before a final reading scheduled for May 26), and confirmed the next council meeting would be May 12 at 6:00 p.m.
The council adjourned at 6:31 p.m.
