Charter Review Committee
Every 10 years, a Charter Review Committee is formed by City Council to review the Painesville City Charter and determine if any changes or updates need to be made. These amendments are then voted upon by the general public (city residents) in the next November election. "During the month of January, 1973, and at least every ten years thereafter, Council shall appoint a Committee of nine (9) qualified electors of the City to constitute a Charter Review Committee. The Committee shall review the Charter and, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the next November election, shall file with the Board of Elections its resolution proposing such amendments as the Committee deems advisable."
