The meeting will include a presentation on the city charter, how amendments are made, which changes city staff may propose for future Conroe City Council consideration and receive comments and recommendations, according to the agenda.

The charter functions as the city’s constitution, outlining powers, duties and organizational structure of Conroe’s local government, according to the charter. Per the agenda, the goal of the meeting is to inform residents about the legal process for charter amendments and receive feedback on any proposed updates.
