Council delays Charter Review Commission formation until more eligible applicants apply
Summary
Council postponed forming the Charter Review Commission after learning the two current applicants are ineligible due to state dual-office rules; the application window will remain open until at least five eligible candidates apply.
The council agreed on March 2, 2026, to delay forming a Charter Review Commission because only two applicants had applied and both serve on the Planning and Zoning Board, making them ineligible under state statute that prohibits holding dual offices. City staff will keep the application window open until at least five eligible candidates have applied.
Council members reached concurrence on the approach and encouraged broader outreach to solicit eligible applicants. No formal vote was recorded; the item was discussed and council direction was to continue recruitment.
