Freeholders take testimony on proposed charter changes

May 21st, 2007 - 7:27am

(Sequim) -- The Clallam County Charter Review Commission holds the first in a series of public hearings tonight. Freeholders will take testimony on a number of issues that could go before voters this fall as changes to the county's governing document. Tonight's hearing starts at 6:30 at the Guy Cole Convention Center in Sequim. Among the issues being considered are: Changing the community development director back to an appointed position, allowing instant runoff voting, limiting campaign spending and contributions for county races and possible changes to the county's commissioner/administrator form of government. Freeholders will hold hearings in Port Angeles and Forks next month.
