CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
cgtiF a��p
AGENDA TITLE: Setting of Public Hearing for Consideration of Establishing
a City Charter
MEETING DATE: February 21, 1996
PREPARED BY: City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION: Council to establish the date of March 6 as the first of what
would probably be several public hearings to consider
whether or not the City of Lodi should adopt a charter.
BACKGROUND: On May 7, 1995 the Council designated itself as a charter
committee to oversee the drafting of a City Charter. The
previously developed schedule indicated that meetings
would be held for public input during the months of July through December 1995. Clearly that did
not occur. If the City is to put the matter before the electorate in November of 1996, it is necessary
to move on a rather expedited schedule of public hearings to accomplish the acquisition of input for
the formation of the charter. The proposed date of March 6 would be the first of such meetings.
Since the placement of the question of whether or not to have a charter is characterized as a ballot
measure, it is necessary that the decision to place the matter on the ballot be done by July 19, 1996.
This date is based upon the time periods that need to be accommodated for the filing of arguments
for or against the particular ballot measure.
FUNDING: None Required.
Respectfully submitted,
Randall A. Hays
City Attorney
