What is the Charter Review Committee?
Every six years, the Committee is convened to study the County Charter and, if it chooses, to submit Charter amendments to the voters of Multnomah County. The charter is the local version of a constitution, essentially creating the structure of Multnomah County government.
The 16 members of the 2021-2022 Charter Review Committee are working in subcommittees focused on: Community Engagement, Government Accountability, Safety & Justice and Equitable Representation.
They are seeking input from the community on changes to the County Charter and any additional charter topics the committee should study. You can share your ideas or feedback by submitting public comments in writing.
Fill out this form to submit your comment or you can send an email to Kali.Odell@multco.us with the subject line "Public Comment."
Written comments are currently limited to 6,000 characters (approximately two single-spaced typed pages). All comments received will be added into the meeting record and may be subject to disclosure upon request under Oregon’s Public Records Law.
You can also sign up for the email list to receive updates and learn more about how to get involved on the MCCRC's Community Engagement & Public Comment page.
