SECTION 7.11 CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION.
   During the month of January in 1993, or as soon thereafter as possible, and each five (5) years thereafter, each member of Council shall appoint one (1) elector of the Municipality as a member of the Charter Review Commission. Such appointments shall be subject to confirmation by majority vote of the Council. If the Council fails to vote upon the confirmation of any person appointed to such Commission within thirty (30) days after the name of any such person is filed with the Clerk of Council by the Mayor, such person shall be deemed confirmed by operation of law. No member of the Charter Review Commission may hold office or employment with the Municipality, and all members of such Commission shall serve without compensation; however, such Commission may hire such temporary employees and retain special counsel and other consultants as it may deem necessary. The Council shall appropriate all money necessary to pay the expenses of the Commission, including the compensation of such employees, counsel, and consultants. All meetings of the Commission shall be open to the public. The Commission shall review the Charter of the Municipality and shall recommend, within six (6) months after the confirmation of the last of the members thereof to be confirmed, such alterations, revisions and amendments, if any, to the Charter, as in its judgment are desirable. Such recommendations shall be directed to the Council. After consideration of the recommendations of the Charter Review Commission, the Council may submit all, any, or none of such proposed alterations, revisions or amendments to the electors of the Municipality 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 such six (6) month period by which the Commission is required to report its recommendations to the Council.
