Charter Review Commission


The Charter Review is made up of 15 citizen members with a vast variety of backgrounds. The Council approved the formation of the Commission back in April of this year. The City Charter was originally adopted in 1937. The last review of the Charter was in 1984; nearly 25 years ago. The last amendment to the Charter occurred in 1990 with the adoption of Local Measure C (Section 612). Along with staff, the Commission will be supported in its efforts by Cal State Fullerton Professor Raphe Sonenshein who will be facilitating the process. Dr. Sonenshein has served as a principal consultant to citizen charter review commissions in Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, Riverside, and Culver City.

The Commission will be meeting on the first and third Tues. of the month at 6:00 PM in Room B-8 on the lower level of City Hall. Agendas, minutes, audios of the meetings and meeting support material will be posted on the City's Website under Government / Boards and Commissions / Charter Review. If you have questions regarding this committee, please contact Pat Dapkus at (714) 536-5579 or at pdapkus@surfcity-hb.org
