From: Jay T. Squires <br />To: Roberta Colotti <br />Subject: 2024 Charter initiative petitions <br />Date: Tuesday, April 1, 2025 12:07:43 PM <br />Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. <br />This email follows up your request for a brief summary of the process followed with respect to June <br />2024 charter initiative petitions that were submitted to the City. I recall that I attended a Charter <br />Commission meeting last summer and had the Charter Commission take action simply <br />acknowledging their submission. Ultimately I advised the City Council that in myjudgment theywere <br />not proper under existing case law, and the Council accepted my recommendation. The Council was <br />also initially interested in pursuing an opinion on the petitions' validityfrom the attorney general, but <br />ultimately chose to not pursue that. Consequently, there is nothing further that needs to be done <br />relative to the petitions. <br />Jay <br />
