ARTICLE XI
CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION
CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION
In January, 2005, and each five years thereafter, the Mayor and each member of Council shall appoint one elector each (for a total of 8), who shall be electors of the Municipality holding no other elective office, in the government of the Municipality, as members of the Charter Review Commission. Such commission shall review the Charter, and within five calendar months after such appointment, shall have a review session with the Mayor and Council and then recommend to the voters such amendments, if any, to this Charter, as in its judgment are desirable. The Council shall submit to the electors not later than the next succeeding general election any such proposed amendments. The members appointed to said Commission shall serve without compensation. Meetings of the Charter Review Commission shall be open to the public. (Amended 11-8-05.)
A complete text of all proposed amendments submitted to the electors shall be delivered to the residents of the Village. However, random failure of such delivery will not cause invalidation of any amendment by the voters.
Should a majority of the Commissioners appointed determine that the services of a professional consultant are required for their review of the Charter, they may retain such services and the reasonable costs thereof shall be paid by the Village. (Amended 11-7-00.)
