Avon

By Rebecca Turman

The members of the 2012 Charter Review Commission have officially been selected and sworn in to serve the city.

During the Jan. 9 regular meeting of Avon City Council, members of the commission were sworn in by Avon Law Director John Gasior.

During the Charter Review Commission’s first meeting, the members will elect a chairman and vice chairman.

According to the city charter, the commission will begin to meet on the first Thursday in February (Feb. 2), for no more than 150 days.

The Charter Review Commission meetings are open to the public.

While serving on the commission, members will review the charter, and may recommend amendments to the charter to City Council.

With council approval, amendments may appear on the ballot “no later than the next succeeding November election,” according to the charter.

The last time a commission reviewed the charter was in 2007.
