Charter Review Advisory Commission 09/1/2026

The City of Tampa's Charter Review Advisory Commission held a meeting on September 1, 2026, primarily to finalize and approve their report package containing proposed charter amendments for submission to the city council. The commission reviewed and discussed the memorandum and detailed amendments, which had been previously agreed upon, focusing on clarifications and updates to existing charter language, including provisions on voting procedures, residency requirements, millage fixing, and the inspector general's office. The commission authorized the chair to transmit the final report and related documents to the city council, with permission for the general counsel to make minor typographical corrections before submission. There was also discussion about procedural rules for future commissions, particularly regarding virtual attendance and member participation, but no binding policy changes were made. The meeting concluded with motions to approve the minutes and close out the commission's work, with the next steps dependent on the city council's review and action on the submitted amendments.
