Discussion of issues relating to potential Charter Amendments.
Body
Summary:
The City Charter was adopted on December 6, 1960. The last Charter Amendment Election was held on May 10, 2008, with only five amendments being approved by the citizens of Deer Park. In the Strategic Plan, Strategy #2 references the Charter Review and Election. Over the last several months, Staff has reviewed the current Charter and made recommendations for your review. The recommendations were previously discussed at the November 6, 2018 City Council Workshop. If the recommendations are agreed upon, an election would need to be called to conduct a Charter Amendment Election on May 4, 2019. The last day to call a special election on a measure, such as the Charter Amendments, is February 15, 2019. Therefore, in order to hold a special election this May, it would need to be called at the February 5, 2019 meeting or call a special meeting before February 15, 2019.
