Charter Reform Plans For City Administration
The committee aims to speed work on a city charter with council and legislature approval before adoption by voters. It favors a system that shields schools from politics and assigns administrators to departments with a mayor as board chair. Finance, health, protection, construction, parks and water works would be handled by designated administrators, reducing political influence and clarifying responsibility. The group hopes to finish the charter by April.
