Charter Review Commission to revise policies, vote planned for Oct. 1
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a draft policies-and-procedures document; Eileen Lambert will amend the draft to add voting procedures, budgeting and financial reporting, rules on legislative-action charter amendments, and a minutes requirement. The commission agreed to vote on the revised policies at the Oct. 1 meeting.
Commission members reviewed a distributed draft of proposed policies and procedures presented by Eileen Lambert and requested a series of specific additions and clarifications.
Commissioners asked for a dedicated voting procedures section, added language on budgeting and financial reporting, directions for presenting charter amendment proposals that do not require a referendum, and an explicit requirement to take and approve minutes. “Lambert requested additional edits to be proposed over email prior to the next meeting of the Commission,” and Ms. Lambert was asked to amend the draft and redistribute it by email ahead of the Oct. 1 meeting.
Corporation Counsel Brian Johnson instructed commissioners to ensure any items they expect to vote on are included with the agenda document that is publicly posted before the next meeting. The Commission agreed to vote on the policies and procedures at its next scheduled meeting on Oct. 1, 2025.
