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 provide written or oral testimony for a scheduled Charter Commission meeting are encouraged to submit their materials at least one (1) full business day prior to the meeting to allow sufficient time for processing and distribution.

Testimony submitted after this time, including on the day of the meeting, will still be accepted. However, late submissions may not be processed or posted in advance of the meeting due to administrative time constraints.

All written testimony will be posted to the Charter Commission website as soon as practicable. Written testimonies, including the testifier’s address, email address, and phone number will be available for public view.
