Commission also has virtual town hall sessions scheduled in June

The Clark County Charter Review Commission is seeking community input through an online survey.

Residents can access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CharterSurvey2021. The survey will be open until 5 pm Friday, June 18.

Results from this survey will help inform the commission of public opinion regarding specific charter amendment proposals including partisan and non-partisan elected positions, councilor districts and government ethics oversight.

Virtual town hall meetings

The Commission also scheduled a series of virtual town hall meetings that will be held on WebEx.

The town hall meetings will be:

  • 11 am to 1 pm Saturday, June 12
    • Dial: 1.408.418.9388
    • Access code: 187 926 8432
  • 5-7 pm Wednesday, June 16
    • Dial: 1.408.418.9388
    • Access code: 187 576 7506

Charter Review Commissioners will present information on potential changes to the county’s charter and seek feedback from town hall participants. Anyone wishing to provide written comment to the commission may do so via the county’s website at https://clark.wa.gov/county-manager/meetings-agendas-archives.

Any changes to the charter that the review commission recommends would go to a countywide vote in a general election. The review commission has set a target of July 7 for submitting any potential changes to the charter to Elections.

The Charter Review Commission is tasked with reviewing the county’s home rule charter approved by voters in November 2014. This will be the first review of the county’s charter.
