Charter Review. The Governing Body shall be responsible for modifying
the City Charter as necessary, and shall review the City Charter at
least once every five (5) years. To accomplish said review, the Governing
Body may appoint a committee composed of an equal number of representatives
from each council district, none of which shall be elected city officers,
to review and make recommendations to the Governing Body, as specifically
directed by the Governing Body, regarding the City Charter. The representatives
from each council district shall be actual residents of the City,
appointed by the Mayor, and confirmed by the Council. The Governing
Body may, by majority vote, employ by contract a consultant with charter
experience to work independently, or with the committee, for the purpose
of reviewing and making recommendations to the Governing Body, as
specifically directed by the Governing Body, regarding changes to
the City Charter. Any recommended changes under this section shall
be reviewed for compliance with applicable law by an attorney experienced
in municipal law and drafting charter provisions
