CS Council Accepts Charter Review Report
Featured Stories, News Wednesday, June 6th, 2012The College Station City Council has accepted the report of an advisory committee charged with recommending changes to the city charter.
Wednesday’s vote also calls for two public hearings next month before the council takes final action to put eight proposed charter changes on the general election ballot.
The chair of the advisory committee, former mayor Lynn McIlhaney, offered to host informational meetings between now and November.
The council made no changes Wednesday to the recommendations, though that could happen when they are reviewed July 12th and 26th. The public hearings will be held on those dates.

Proposition 1 has this statement:
‘require that recall petitions be signed by qualified electors who actually voted in the election in which the person being proposed for recall was elected’
Why would you want to limit the people qualified to petition a recall to ONLY those who voted in that election? Are those who didn’t vote not qualified to determine if their elected official needs to be replaced?
This appears to be elected official spite in action. How did this get into the proposal? What kind of thinking is involved in this kind of proposal?
The fact that this statement could be released to the public as ACCEPTED by the council shows me the need to replace all Council Members who voted to accept this ridiculous statement.
