If any proposed amendments to the Charter are presented, the Council orders the amendments be submitted to the voters of the City by ordering a special election. Please find an excerpt of the Charter attached which includes Section 11.11 of the City Charter outlining the duties and requirements of the Charter Review Commission as well as Section 8.02 which defines the requirements for Board and Commission members.
