EXPLANATION: In response to Council's direction, staff has begun the process to establish a Charter Review Committee. An Administrative Transmittal was sent on April 10th which provided a draft resolution as well as the process for Charter Amendments. The draft resolution established that the mission of the Committee would be to review the existing Village of Wellington Charter, make recommendations to the Village Council, including proposing revised language, for any additions, deletions, or other modifications they would suggest for adoption through the referendum process. The resolution also outlines the composition of the Committee, the appointments by Council, and establishes the staff liaisons. There are still several sections which require Council input: (1) the date of the first meeting; (2) date the Committee needs to notify Council if a referendum is to be considered; (2) date for proposed language to be given to Council; and (4) sunset date of the Committee, if appropriate.
At this time, the following appointments have been made by Council
Mayor Margolis: Victoria McCullough
