The Richardson City Council continued its review of proposed City Charter amendments at Monday’s City Council work session meeting. This week’s review included additional discussion/refinements concerning three amendments, and consideration of a possible new amendment in light of recent Texas legislative action giving cities the choice to hold City Council elections in November rather than May (which can be done through a City Council resolution or by an amendment to the City Charter).
After discussion, the City Council chose to keep Richardson’s City Council elections in May.
Monday’s review also included a presentation by the City attorney, who presented draft language for ballot propositions for all 48 proposed charter amendments. A final draft will be provided to the City Council at its July 28 meeting, and the ordinance to call a charter amendment election for November is expected to be voted on at the Aug. 11 meeting.
