PURPOSE & DUTIES
Not later than the last day of March in 1977, and every 5 years
thereafter, the Council shall appoint, by a majority vote of its
members, a Charter Review Commission consisting of not less than 5
electors of the City. Such Commission shall review the Charter of the
City and, within the time designated by the Council at the time the
members are appointed, or within any extension thereof granted by the
Council, recommend to Council such alterations, revisions and amendments
if any, to the Charter, as in its judgment are desirable. After
consideration of the recommendations of the Charter Review Commission,
the Council may submit any or all of such proposed alterations,
revisions, or amendments to the Charter to the electors of the City in
the manner provided by Article XVIII, Section 9, of the Constitution of
Ohio. The terms of the members of the Commission shall terminate at the
end of the period designated at the time of their appointment, or any
extension thereof, by the Council.
ADVISORS
City staff shall provide advice and technical support for the Charter
Review Commission, but do not work for the Commission. Staff is to be
treated with respect and human dignity. Any breach or abuse of this may
result in dismissal by the City Council.
REMOVAL
The City Council shall have the right to remove, for misfeasance,
malfeasance or nonfeasance, by a two-thirds vote of Council, any
appointed member of the Charter Review Commission. Members are expected
to be present at all meetings, if possible. If the member is unexcused
for two consecutive meetings, they may be removed from the Commission
with a two-thirds vote of Council.
