Charter commission sets tentative meeting schedule and order for articles

The commission settled on a tentative meeting calendar and a general order for addressing charter articles so the public can know what topics will be discussed and when. Commissioners favored Mondays for consistency; Chair noted specific September–January dates and said the schedule may be adjusted if public interest requires it.

Members debated whether to lock the multi‑meeting order in place or treat it as a flexible outline. Several commissioners said having a public schedule helps stakeholders plan to provide input; others warned against setting dates too far in advance because the commission may want to rearrange topics as substantive debate unfolds.
