Colleyville voters recently approved five propositions to
amend the City Charter.
This summer, City Council set a priority to make positive
change to the City Charter and enhance the document
without significantly effecting the document's democratic
principles. A citizen committee, appointed by the City
Council, recommended amendments, which appeared on
the November ballot.
Voters approved term limits, which limit the Mayor and
Council members to two consecutive terms, and would
provide that no person should serve more than 12
consecutive years without a one term break in service. This
goes into effect at the next municipal election.
Voters also approved expanding the roles that are required
to submit financial disclosure and conflict of interest forms
to include senior city staff, elected officials, and certain
appointed officials. The new regulation also requires annual
updates.
Other changes include City Council approval of the hiring of
certain staff positions, electronic voting, and the removal of
transitional matters in the City Charter.
To see the unofficial results visit Tarrant County
Elections.
