Summary

After approving templates, legal guidelines, outreach and survey drafting, the Commission closed the meeting and announced a first public hearing will be held in about two weeks; next steps include chair outreach to MMA and a drafted survey for review.

Having completed agenda and process business, the Chair confirmed a set of next steps — reaching out to MMA and regional councils for testimony, compiling punch-list items for charter revision, and authorizing a commissioner to draft a community survey — then called for adjournment. With no audience participation, a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and the meeting closed.

Members noted that a public hearing will be scheduled in approximately two weeks and that the working draft will be developed iteratively with legal input and public feedback before any final vote or referendum action is taken.
