The City of Kerrville has opened up applications for the Charter Review Commission, a vital initiative aimed at maintaining an effective city governance system. The Commission, consisting of seven individuals, will play a crucial role in reviewing the city charter, a document that guides the operation of Kerrville's government.
The city charter serves as a roadmap for the city's administration, outlining key principles and guidelines. Prepared by the citizens of Kerrville, it provides essential direction on how the city government functions. One of its stipulations, Section 12.06, mandates a thorough review of the charter at least every five years. This regular assessment helps ensure that the charter remains up-to-date and accurately mirrors the collective vision of the community.
Individuals interested in contributing to the betterment of Kerrville's governance are encouraged to apply for a spot on the Charter Review Commission. Appointed by the city council, these seven members will engage in the critical task of evaluating the charter's provisions. This effort is essential to guarantee that the city's fundamental governing document remains aligned with the evolving needs and aspirations of Kerrville's residents.
Aspiring candidates have until September 8th to submit their applications. Following the application deadline, appointments to the Charter Review Commission will be finalized by September 12th.
Applications are available online on the city’s website at https://www.kerrvilletx.gov/Charter_Review_Commission, or by dropping by the city secretary’s office in city hall. Completed applications should be e-mailed to the city secretary's office at shelley.mcelhannon@kerrvilletx.gov or Deputy City Secretary Kesha Franchina at kesha.franchina@kerrvilletx.gov.
