Question B: Charter Amendment

Eliminate At-large Council Members

Effective December 2030, and for each subsequent election cycle, this measure will reduce the County Council membership from 11 members to 9 members by eliminating the two at-large council seats which do not represent a specific council district.  This measure will provide for more efficient and cost-effective elections and will restore the voting strength of communities and neighborhoods in each district.

A vote for the measure will reduce the County Council membership from 11 members to 9 members and eliminate spending of taxpayer dollars for general and special elections for at-large members and for the compensation of the offices for at-large members.  A vote against the measure will keep the County Council membership at 11 members and will not eliminate spending of taxpayer dollars for general and special elections for at-large members and for the compensation of the offices for at-large members.
