Strong executive charter eyed for county governance
A county charter proposal would create a full time executive with appointment power over department heads and a council role limited to approving certain posts. The plan imposes a two term limit, age and residency requirements, and bans private work, while keeping some board and attorney appointments under council oversight. No public hearings scheduled yet as the charter board weighs boundaries before or after the November vote.
