The Charter Review Committee is a group of 15 volunteers selected by City Council to review the Vancouver City Charter. They held their first meeting on January 29. The Committee review is expected to take six months.

Per Section 11.17 of the City Charter the Charter Review Committee will review the City Charter and make recommendations to the City Council for changes or amendments that should be put up for a vote. The recommendations must be made in time for consideration on that year’s election ballot. If you have any proposed changes you would like the Charter Review Committee to discuss, please send them to the City Manager’s Office at jan.bader@ci.vancouver.wa.us.
