Every ten years, Saratoga Springs is required to form a commission to study the city charter and recommend updates. The Charter is the city’s constitution that lays out the organization, powers, functions and essential procedures of our government. The 15 member citizen panel has been studying the issue for the past five months and has interviewed 13 past and present City Council members.
Citizens who are unable to attend can email their thoughts or suggestions to the commission at saratogaspringscharter@gmail.com. The Charter Review Commission will be holding more town meetings at a later date. To learn more about the Charter Review Commission, see www.charterreview.robrina.com.
