    Second Reading and Public Hearing: Amendments to City Charter

    The second reading and public hearing on a comprehensive ordinance amending the Richfield City Charter was scheduled for consideration at the March 12 meeting, following unanimous first-reading approval on February 28. The Charter Commission began this review in 2022, and the proposed amendments were intended to clarify emergency authority for the mayor and staff, align the document with current state law, authorize electronic signatures, and make various housekeeping corrections. If adopted, the ordinance would become effective 90 days after passage, unless a citizen referendum petition is filed within 60 days.
