Charter Review Committee
Section 1 of the Sherwood City Charter states that the “charter shall be reviewed at least every six years, with the appointment of a charter review committee by the City Council."
The City Council met on June 20, 2023 in a work session to discuss the creation and implementation of a Charter Review Committee. In order to initiate the review process required by Section 1 of the City Charter, Council established a Charter Review Committee to review the Charter and to advise Council regarding any proposed changes for possible referral by City Council to City voters.
The primary function of the City Charter Review Committee is to review the existing City Charter to determine if it will adequately serve the Sherwood community into the future. If necessary, the committee will recommend to the City Council draft amendments to the City Charter. Any proposed charter amendments will ultimately be reviewed by the City Council and considered for placement on the ballot for the voters of Sherwood.
The committee must be impartial, unbiased, and free of any perceived political gain. It may approach its task in whatever manner it determines will result in a document that best serves the citizens of Sherwood. In addition to adhering to the Oregon Public Meetings law, the committee will strive to include the community beyond the requirements of the law. The City Council encourages the committee to seek opportunities to educate the community about the process and purpose of a charter review and the importance of a city charter, and to solicit community input.
The City Council has directed the committee to develop a review timeline such that any proposed amendments can be placed on the ballot no later than 2024.
The City Council adopted Resolution 2023-059 creating a Charter Review Committee. The City Council desires to establish a Charter Review Committee to evaluate the existing City Charter to determine if there is a recommendation for the City Charter to be updated or changed.
