RECOMMENDATION
Engage in a dialogue with Dan Clark, Director of the Local Government Center to determine how the Council wants to move forward establishing a city charter review committee.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
October 11, 2021, a majority of Council supported an initiative for the city administrator to bring forward a Resolution to create a City Charter Review Committee. Prior to drafting the resolution we asked Dan Clark to share his expertise on the State's local government review process and city charters throughout Montana.
There are two different charters attached. One which Dan highlighted for our discussion and the second is the current charter. For the purposes of our discussion, the amendments to the charter over the past few years (both for public safety funding) are irrelevant, but I didn't want anyone to think we aren't reviewing our current city charter.
