Mayor Cathy Carlat Announces Members of Citizens’ Charter Review Committee

In October, Peoria City Council approved the formation of a citizen committee to comb through the City’s Charter and recommend updates or changes. The City Charter was adopted in 1983 and establishes the roles of governance for the City. A comprehensive citizen review has not been conducted since 1992.

The ad hoc committee will be comprised of nine members, all nominated by City Council members to represent all parts of the City. The Committee will bring its recommendations to Council by May 2016. Council will then place any suggested updates in the hands of the voters to decide.

The Committee members and their districts are: Terry Ellis (Chairman), at large; Susan Cherches, at large; John Durbin, Ironwood District; Brian Greathouse, Willow District ; Mike Grose, Acacia District; Mike Heath, Palo Verde District; Bill Higgins, Pine District; Joe LaRue, at Large; Brad Shafer, Mesquite District.

As soon as she took office in 2015, Carlat outlined her intention to strengthen the integrity of local government through transparency and accountability by putting the citizens at the helm of review and modernization of the City’s governing document.

For more information about the Committee please contact the committee’s liaison, Tammy Shreeve, at 623.773.5143
