Commissioners agree to explore Home Rule Charter costs and public input
Summary
Ms. Milazzo said a Home Rule Charter is a two-plus year process requiring voter approval and questioned costs versus tax-dollar recapture; Commissioners Miller and Smock supported at least exploring the issue and asked to place it on the June work session agenda for public input and cost analysis.
Board President Ms. Milazzo said she researched the Home Rule Charter process and found it would be a two-plus year effort requiring voter approval; she raised concerns about the cost compared with potential tax-dollar recapture. Commissioner Miller said the Board should "at least explore this and solicit public input and examine the cost" and asked that Home Rule be listed on the June work session agenda.
Commissioner Smock added that it is important to discuss Home Rule and Commissioner Halbert asked where the Board should look for direction on potential profitable opportunities. The Board asked staff to continue exploring the issue and bring it back for broader discussion and public input.
