When will the Commission begin reviewing the proposals?

The commission received a record 281 proposals by the November 7 submission deadline. Commissioners have put together a proposal review schedule based on proposal categories of submissions. See below for the schedule. All dates, times, and categories are subject to change. 

How can I submit testimony for a proposal?

You may provide testimony by using this form. You may provide testimony on:

• An agenda item scheduled for discussion at an upcoming meeting

• A specific Charter amendment proposal that has been submitted to the Commission

If you would like to testify on multiple agenda items or Charter amendment proposals, you must submit a Public Testimony Form for each agenda item or Charter amendment proposal.

Persons wishing to offer testimony should submit at least one (1) full business day prior to the meeting. Testimony received after this time will be stamped late and left to the discretion of the chair to consider. While every effort will be made to incorporate all testimony received, materials received on the day of the hearing or improperly identified or directed, may not be processed.

Testimony submitted will be placed on the Charter Commission website. This public posting of testimony on the website should be considered when including personal information in your testimony.
