Charter Review Commissioners will present information on potential changes to the county’s charter and seek feedback from town hall participants. Anyone wishing to provide written comment to the commission may do so via the county’s website at https://clark.wa.gov/county-manager/meetings-agendas-archives.
Any changes to the charter that the review commission recommends would go to a countywide vote in a general election.
The Charter Review Commission is tasked with reviewing the county’s home rule charter approved by voters in November 2014. This is the first review of the county’s charter; the commission previously forwarded seven amendments to voters in the recently completed November 2021 general election.
Information on the Charter Review Commission can be found on the county’s website at https://clark.wa.gov/county-manager/charter-review-commission-overview.
