- Discusión sobre la remisión de enmiendas revisadas de la Carta de la Ciudad a los votantes en noviembre de 2026; los cambios incluyen eliminar los números de posición del concejo y la elección primaria bienal, y llenar las vacantes a mitad de mandato mediante nombramiento

- El Concejo decidirá si procede con la remisión a las urnas y qué revisiones, si las hay, realizar al lenguaje de la carta propuesto anteriormente
- Si se procede, el título de la boleta debe prepararse antes del 14 de agosto de 2026
- El personal busca orientación sobre opciones de participación comunitaria tales como discusiones de mesa redonda, insertos en las facturas de servicios públicos y actualizaciones del sitio web

AGENDA
A work session serves as an informal setting for discussing topics of mutual interest and exchanging ideas
with staff. It is not intended for making decisions or directing staff toward specific actions, except to identify
additional information the Council may wish to review later. Because no decisions are made, voting does not
occur during these sessions. If a topic discussed requires formal action, it will be added to a future Regular
Session Agenda for voting.
In compliance with Oregon Public Meetings Law, work sessions are open to the public; however, to ensure
efficient use of time, public comments and questions are generally not accepted during or after the
discussion. Members of the public are instead encouraged to share their input during the Public Comments
portion of each Regular Session. Additionally, in accordance with ORS 192.670(1), some members may
participate in the work session via electronic communication.
