Should Lane County Revise its Charter?
City Club of Eugene SEP 2024 | LWVLC President Terry Parker with microphone (video 1:08)
Watch this video and be informed.
Lane County government operates under a home rule charter approved by voters in 1962. In 2010, Lane County voters approved an amendment to the Charter directing the Board of Commissioners to convene a Charter Review Committee (CRC) for the purpose of reviewing and recommending changes or updates to the existing charter every 10 years.
This November, Lane County voters will have the opportunity to vote on four proposed changes to the Charter – three put forth by the CRC to repeal certain sections of the Charter, and a fourth proposed by one of our panelists, Stanton Long, regarding redistricting of the Lane County Commission.
