Charter Review Commission 11/4/2026

The City of Raymore Charter Review Commission met on November 4, 2026, to review charter provisions. Members generally favored considering three-year council terms and a four-year mayoral term, with those changes to be drafted for later review and a formal commission decision. The discussion did not produce support for advancing term limits. Members also discussed emergency ordinances, including whether additional procedural guidance belongs in council rules or code, but did not identify a charter change to pursue. Other topics included the mayor’s veto power, appointments to boards and commissions, independent reviews, and council meeting procedures; no final charter amendments were adopted during the meeting.

No procurement actions, contract awards, bid approvals, or new spending decisions were identified. The commission’s discussions concerned possible charter and governance changes, with any proposed amendments ultimately subject to further review and the public ballot process.
