Ontario voters may see charter changes on ballot

ONTARIO
Did you know that when former Ontario City Councilor Dan Capron moved out of city limits, thereby resigning from his seat, he didn’t have to?
The city of Ontario’s municipal charter states that in order to be elected, a person has to have lived within city limits for one year, but once a person is elected, they could theoretically move outside the city altogether and keep on serving. While that may not have been the original intent of the authors, the 8-page document still reads that way 36 years since its last update in 1985.
This is among about 20 subsections that are proposed to be changed by a committee that has been reviewing the charter in recent months. For those areas they are seeking to update, the committee has considered what other cities, as well as what the League of Oregon Cities suggests.
