The amendments to the charter contained a number of language changes and removal of antiquated and obsolete requirements, Tomball City Manager George Shackelford said.
"The changes to the charter are mostly just cleanup changes," Shackelford said. "The city formed a committee for the purpose of cleaning up the charter and bringing it up to date."
The proposed amendments to the charter were recommended by the charter commission and approved by City Council, he said.
