Give Your Input to the Iowa City Charter Review Commission

The Iowa City Charter Review Commission is actively seeking public input on potential amendments to the Iowa City Charter as part of its mandated 10-year review. The Charter is a crucial document that outlines the framework for local governance, covering key areas such as the composition and election of the City Council, the establishment of council districts, and the duties of the City Manager. In an effort to engage the community, the Commission will hold a public meeting at **10:30 a. m. on Saturday, September 28, 2024**, at Emma Harvat Hall in City Hall.

This meeting provides residents with the opportunity to express their views and suggestions regarding the Charter. For those interested in further details, past meeting packets and the working draft of proposed amendments are accessible on the Commission's website. Residents are encouraged to email their comments or send them via physical mail to the City Clerk's office to ensure their voices are heard. This review process is vital for adapting local governance to the evolving needs of Iowa City residents. Engaging the community in discussions about the Charter can lead to more informed and effective governance.
