Residents press council on proposed “Amend the Constitution” ballot initiative; local group offered to present
Summary
Multiple residents spoke during public comment in favor of a ballot initiative referred to as “Amend the Constitution”; one commenter, Kate Durda, offered to arrange a presentation by All Voting Is Local to provide information and answer questions at a future meeting.
The council’s public comment period on July 13 included remarks from six members of the public about a proposed ballot initiative the minutes refer to as “Amend the Constitution.”
Kate Durda addressed the council during public comment, thanked council members “for its consideration,” emphasized the importance of the voting‑rights issue to Charlotte residents, and offered to have a representative from All Voting Is Local provide a presentation and answer questions at a future meeting.
Council members did not take formal action on the ballot initiative during the meeting, but Council Member Chin requested that a voting‑rights resolution be placed on a future agenda and Council Member Scott said he is researching the issue. Those steps suggest the council may schedule further consideration in upcoming meetings.
