H. Boards and Commissions, and Mandatory Charter Review

Charter Review Advisory Board · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The Charter Review Advisory Board is recommending changes to the City of Panama City's charter. These changes include a new rule that requires a complete review of the city charter every ten years. The Board also suggests making it clear that the City Commission can start a charter review at any time if needed. This item is currently under review by the Board. The proposed changes focus on the structure and review process of the city's governing document, not on physical construction or development projects. Therefore, the scope of work is administrative and legal in nature. Local businesses, particularly those in legal services, may find opportunities to engage with the city as these recommendations are considered and potentially implemented.
