RE: Euless Charter Revision
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We, the members of the Euless Charter Review Committee, present to you
and submit for your consideration the proposed revisions to the Euless
City Charter approved by the Committee. Language to be deleted from
the Charter is contained in brackets [ ] and language to be added is
underlined.
We also present to you the proposed ballot propositions to enact the
Charter revisions. Each proposition states a single issue, as
required by law, and no proposition is dependent upon another. The
first six propositions reflect changes in public policy deemed by the
Committee to be in the best interest of the citizens and residents of
the City of Euless. The seventh ballot proposition is recommended to
revise the entire Charter to make the language thereof gender neutral.
The remaining nine propositions are recommended to conform the Charter
to changes in state or federal law.
Please note that the proposed revision to Article II, Section 1,
concerning reconstitution of the city council, leaves for the city
council's determination the issue of when three-year terms shall be
commenced as to council place 1, 3, 5, and 6. It is suggested that
the issue be determined by drawing lots and that the results thereof
be incorporated into the proposed text to be contained in the
ordinance calling the Charter election.
