NEW CITY CHARTER

This isn't the most exciting subject but it is important to our City nonetheless. Our City Charter was created by a vote of the people in 1986 and has not been updated since. The City Council appointed a Charter Revision Committee, made up of 5 citizens, whose mission was to review the Charter and recomend any changes they thought were necessary.

These suggested revisions will be discussed at a City Council public hearing tomorrow evening at our regular Council meeting which starts at 7:00 pm. Although in my opinion there are no real substantive changes being proposed, you may want to attend this hearing. As citizens of Cannon Beach, you will be asked to vote on this measure as soon as May 20th.
