The Charter Review Task Force recommended these changes, with a vote of seven in favor and one against. The resolution was introduced on June 26, 2026, and is currently in committee. A scrivener's error correction was made on July 9, 2026, changing a reference from Resolution No. R-255-24 to Resolution No. R-225-24. The election will be conducted according to general election laws, with polls open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
