The Maui County Council is seeking applications for the 2021-22 Maui County Charter Commission by noon Feb. 1.
A charter amendment approved in last year’s general election requires the mayor to appoint two and the council to appoint nine of the 11-member charter commission by March 1. The charter commission convenes for 16 months every 10 years to review and consider revisions to the Maui County Charter — the local government’s constitutional document.
“The charter commission can propose an entirely new county charter, propose piecemeal charter amendments or maintain the status quo,” Government Relations, Ethics and Transparency Committee Chairman Michael Molina explained in a news release Tuesday.
