Commission recommends changing charter filing month in Section 10.15(a) to March
Summary
The commission voted to recommend an attorney-updated amendment that changes the month referenced in Section 10.15(a) from July to March; commissioners said the change aligns with prior votes and supports ballot timing.
Commissioners voted to recommend an amendment to Article 10, Section 10.15(a), replacing the month 'July' with 'March.' The motion was described as a legal-counsel addition reflecting an item Commissioner Sorbet had earlier raised; a commissioner said the language was added to the most recent version and moved that the commission recommend adoption because it had been previously voted on. The motion was seconded and passed.
Commissioners discussed timing and the effect on the council’s ability to prepare ballot language. Legal counsel and commissioners noted that getting the packet to council promptly would allow staff and council time to consider placement on the November ballot.
