Council member Nick Pachota first suggested that the city would be best served by empowering a charter review board.
Council member Joe Neunder, who noted that it had been close to a decade since the last review board was established, agreed, “to perhaps make the process more palatable, transparent and more fair.”
Pachota at first moved to have the city establish a resolution to empower a board to review the items that had been discussed last October, notably term limits, the power of the mayor to make appointments to advisory boards and when the vice mayor is chosen.
He later amended that proposal to have the board consider the entire charter.
