The City of The Dalles is embarking on a review of its charter for the first time in 25 years.  Mayor Rich Mays says Councilors felt it was time to go through it and see if they have changes that should be presented to voters.  An ad-hoc committee comprised of the City Clerk, City Attorney, Assistant to the City Manager, and two councilors will do the review.  Mays says he intentionally stayed off the committee as some of the review may consider changes in the role of the Mayor’s position.  This committee will meet two to four times over the summer and fall of 2019, and updates would be brought back to the Council as a resolution early next year so the charter could be placed on the May 2020 ballot.
