Title

Discuss, consider and take action on the recommendations and amendments from the Charter Review Commission and provide thanks for their service to the City.

 

Summary

This item has been included on the agenda to allow for discussion and potential action.

 

The Charter Review Commission inquires into the operations of the City's government and reviews the City Charter to determine whether it requires revision. The Commission proposes any recommendations it deems desirable and makes a written report of its findings and recommendations to the Council.  The Council receives the report and publishes the report in the Pflugerville Pflag, the City's official newspaper.  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.
