Adopt Ordinance 25-O-14: City Charter Amendment Expanding Vacancy Appointment Window

Plain-language summary

The Commission unanimously adopted Ordinance 25-O-14, which amends the City Charter to extend the window for filling an unexpected vacancy on the City Commission from 20 days to 60 days. This change gives the Commission more time to conduct a thorough appointment process when a seat unexpectedly becomes vacant. The longer window helps ensure a qualified replacement can be identified.
