The vote to put term extensions on the ballot was approved during council's Aug. 13 regular meeting, while approval to put the CCPD creation on the ballot was approved during a joint meeting between City Council and the CCPD temporary board of directors, Assistant City Administrator Dave McCorquodale said in an Aug. 15 email.
The details
Council members and the mayor serve two-year terms; however, if approved by voters, those terms would become four years long, according to the agenda packet.
The term extension proposal would go into effect for the council members elected into office after the May 2025 election, according to prior reporting.
Meanwhile, the CCPD would help fund the police department through sales tax revenue, according to prior reporting.
