Official explanation

Present situation: The Charter requires the appointment of a Charter Commission every ten years to review City government and recommend Charter amendments. The Charter does not designate a permanent administrative home or guarantee technical or secretarial support for the Commission. If proposal passes: The City Clerk would be required to provide administrative and technical support to the Charter Commission. The Charter Commission's authority, responsibilities, independence, and ability to propose Charter amendments for voter consideration would not change.
