Apology
and Invitation
Due to inclement storm-related
power, internet, and connectivity complications affecting Richmond’s south side
at the time, the Charter Commission meeting held Thursday, June 22, at the Second
Police Precinct experienced technical difficulties that affected the virtual experience
of the meeting. The Charter Commission apologizes to residents attending the
meeting virtually for this inconvenience and invites them to attend the upcoming
meeting.
Background
Richmond City Council Ordinance
# 2021-347 established
a Richmond City Charter Review Commission, comprised of nine community
members, to conduct a comprehensive review of and make
recommendations for revisions to the Richmond City Charter, which
enumerates the governmental powers granted to the City of Richmond by the
Virginia General Assembly.
The Richmond City Charter Review Commission is holding multiple
public information and engagement sessions and will present various draft
Charter recommendations to obtain public input, feedback, and comments.
Richmond residents are invited and encouraged to participate in
this important process and share their thoughts, suggestion, and questions with
the Commission.
The Commission will
submit its final recommendations in a report to Richmond City Council and the
Mayor later this year.
Richmond City Council thanks the
willingness and dedication of the Richmond City Charter Review
Commission Members for their work on behalf of this important project for all
Richmond residents.
