2000 Communication on Charter Commission

Home

March 27, 2000 To: Involved Residents of Roseville From: Roseville Charter Commission Re: Charter Update Last fall a committee of nine Roseville residents was formed to debate the issue of changing Roseville's form of government from a Statutory Plan B to a Charter. A Charter, in the simplest terms, is a constitution written for a specific city or county. The specific charge of out committee is to first determine if a Charter should be prepared for Roseville or not. If we determine that a Charter should be developed then we are to write the Charter and present it to the citizens of Roseville to be voted up or down. So why are we sending this letter to you? We want the citizens of Roseville to be informed of this debate and involved wit this debate. Our committee meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers of City Hall. We have included with this letter the topics that we will be discussing over the next few months. If you have any comments regarding the development of a Charter or on any of the future topics we need to hear from you. Your attendance at our meetings is welcome and necessary to complete our charge. The nine members on this committee are Georgiana Sobola, Marilyn Silvis, Elwyn Sands, Ron Riach, Vicky Lorenz, Craig Klausing, Pat Johnson, Jack Brewer and Bob Bell. Please pass along your thoughts to one. of us or drop off a note at City Hall. Please share this information with your organization. Thank You.
