Scope and Contents

Collection consists of agendas, minutes, presentations, and other information generated by the Charter Review Commission during its existence in 2002 until its dissolution in 2003.

Dallas City Charter, Section 3, states, “At intervals of not more than 10 years (first interval to occur not more than 10 years after adoption of this section), the Charter shall be reviewed by a commission appointed by the council. The commission shall complete the review and report to council within one year after its appointment. Notwithstanding this section, amendments to the Charter may at any time be framed and proposed as provided by law.”

The City Charter is the document that gives the City of Dallas the right to govern by the State of Texas. State law governs the method by which a charter may be amended or revised, in which a charter commission is convened to review the city charter and suggest amendments. The commission is appointed from the community by the Dallas City Council. The suggested amendments may range from policy changes to technical corrections. Upon completion of the review process, the commission sends its proposed amendments to City Council. The City Council then votes whether to submit the proposed charter amendments to the ballot for voters to approve or reject the propositions.
