Council Charter Review Committee
Mayor Andrew J. Ginther and Columbus City Council Accepting Applicants
For Council Charter Review Committee
[COLUMBUS-OH] The time has arrived to review how to best serve the residents of America’s Opportunity City. Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther and Councilmember Shannon G. Hardin are proud to announce the City is accepting applicants for the Council Charter Review Committee.
“As our city grows, the structure of City Council should be evaluated in a thoughtful, deliberate way to make sure it is meeting the needs of all of our residents,” said Mayor Ginther.
To serve on the Committee, candidates must submit a resume and a narrative of no more than 500 words describing why they want to be on the Committee. Application materials must be accepted and time-stamped by the office of the Columbus City Clerk located in City Hall, room 231, 90 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215 by Friday, August 26, at noon. Materials can be submitted by hard copy or emailed to charter@columbus.gov.
Only applications from Columbus residents who are not elected officials or City of Columbus employees will be considered. All applications submitted will be considered public records once accepted to the clerk.
“This review will hear from neighborhoods, examine national best practices, and ultimately facilitate a citywide conversation so that all Columbus residents can have a say in the structure of their city council,” Councilmember Hardin. “This committee will be diverse, inclusive, transparent and, I hope, lead to meaningful change.”
Mayor Ginther and City Council will select members. The Committee will study the structure of city government and identify opportunities for improvement.
The Committee will be selected by the end of August and begin work immediately. It will convene a minimum of seven public meetings beginning in September and make recommendations to Council by February of 2017. Any recommendations made by the Charter Review Committee to amend the Charter will require a vote of Council and the approval of Columbus voters.

Indianola Road Diet Plan Keeps Forum Hopping
It’s been a full-time job today monitoring comments on the Clintonville Discussion Forum page. The Commission really appreciates that the comments have maintained politeness (for the most part). We encourage everyone who is able to attend tomorrow night’s meeting. If you can’t (or even if you can) we also encourage everyone to read the blog that Will Koehler refers to in his comment on the forum. It answers many questions and concerns that people have written about in the forum. https://ladotbikeblog.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/safety-traffic-and-you-the-case-for-road-diets/
Development Tour Information Sheets
Development Tour, Kingsdale – Arlington Crossing Development Tour,
The WindsorDevelopment Tour, The Lane
These files show the stops we made yesterday on our “Development Tour”. Participants had some very good discussions on what we thought worked and what we thought didn’t work. And, being residents of Clintonville, we did not always agree. But it was fun and worthwhile. Please let me know if the files did not upload. I’m not sure what I’m seeing if quite correct.
