AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
Consideration and possible action to develop a charge and authorize a commission to revise our City Charter
ITEM SUMMARY
As per our decision this past spring, it is time to formally appoint a commission and assign work on our
Charter. We have gathered ample information to provide as reference material for the members, including
technical legal information from Bob Heath, a written analysis from a legal specialist in Texas home rule
charters, video-tape of our analysis review with the latter, and written comment from Council regarding
areas of special concerns. I recommend that we provide these resource materials, and develop a timeline
for completion and presentation back to the Council in time for the Spring 2002 city election.
It should be noted that funds have been budgeted to assist the commission with their technical duties, and
staff must be assigned to provide administrative assistance.
