Town council considers charter changes cutting to six members
The council debates a draft charter to reduce the governing body from eight to six seats to ease quorum issues. The recorder would be separate from the executive body, replacing the current vote on ordinances. The limits on extending the charter were kept, awaiting citizen benefit assurances. A prior street and water improvement issue failed on a technicality linked to a freeholders election.
