POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support amending the charter regarding the creation of a Charter Review Committee?
BACKGROUND:
Council passed Resolution 28-2013 creating the 2013 Littleton Charter Review Committee (LCRC) and directed the committee to review the charter and to make recommendations to the council for potential amendments to address the current and future needs of the city. The LCRC met between 9/9/13 and 5/28/14 to review and discuss the charter, and on 8/5/14 made amendment recommendations to council. On 5/26/2015, council requested staff to bring forward the ordinances for the proposed charter amendment ballot questions.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The proposed amendment would provide for the city council to periodically appoint a Charter Review Committee, comprised of registered electors of the city, to review the charter and make recommendations to the city council for amendments, deletions, or other changes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the ordinance on second reading submitting a ballot question to the registered electors of the city at the November 3, 2015 regular election, proposing to amend the city charter by the addition of a new section 124 to establish a charter review committee.
