Charter Review Board Meeting Planned
The 2015 Hillsborough County Charter Review Board (CRB) will review the several Sections of the Charter at its Sept. 1 meeting. Those sections include: Section 4.04 - Limit on Terms; Section 5.04 - Political Activity by Administrator; Section 8.03 – Initiative; Section 9.02 - Con- struction of the Charter; and Section 9.09 – Planning Ethics.
The meeting will take place from 6-8 p.m. at Frederick B. Karl County Center, 601 E. Kennedy Blvd. in the Commission Boardroom on the second floor.
The CRB is comprised of 14 volunteers appointed by the Board of County Commissioners every five years. Each commissioner appoints two members from his or her district. The board is charged with con- ducting a comprehensive review of the County charter and recom- mending any changes.
Any proposed amendments by the Charter Review Board must be approved by two-thirds of the Charter Review Board members, and then voted upon in a public referendum.
Hillsborough County residents are encouraged to share their ideas and suggestions during a public comment period at the beginning of each meeting, or via the web at www.HiIllsboroughCounty.org/Char- ter.
