Item # 8.c.

City Council

Meeting Date:	08/22/2023
Department:	City Manager

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and discuss appointing a Charter Review Commission.

BACKGROUND:

The Town of Addison Home Rule Charter was last reviewed in 2019 with a Charter amendment election being held in May 2020. Best practice is to review the Charter every three (3) to five (5) years and make recommendations for changes (if any) to the City Council. The City Council would need to appoint 14 residents to a Charter Review Commission in accordance with Section 11.29 of the Town's Charter. The Commission will be tasked to work with staff to advise the Mayor and City Council as to whether the Town's Charter should be amended.

Staff recommends that Council provide direction to staff to open applications for a 14-person Charter Review Commission.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff seeks Council direction.
