The city’s charter commission, which meets once every eight years, recommended several changes to the charter that, if council votes in favor of, will be presented to residents on their ballots during the November election.

Recommended changes include:
- Removing references to a particular county
- Addressing vacancies in the office of both the mayor and deputy mayor
- Clarifying notice requirements for special meetings
- Clarifying the use of resolutions
- Modifying requirements for publishing ordinances
- Eliminating the expiration of emergency ordinances
- Replacing the term "competitive exams" for hiring with "competitive processes"
- Establishing a new section enabling council to make non-substantive changes i.e., punctuation and/or grammar to the charter
If approved by council, the charter recommendations would be the first to go before a citizen vote for the city of Centerville since 1992.
Tonight’s meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at 100 W. Spring Valley Pike.
