CHARTER CHANGE PROPOSAL
Councilwoman Sawyer, in collaboration with Councilwoman CdeBaca, is proposing a ballot initiative to change the Charter of the City and County of Denver. This Charter change would give City Council approval authority of all Mayoral Cabinet Appointees, as well as Appointments to the three Heads of Denver’s Safety Departments.
The Executive positions that would be approved by City Council, were this proposed Charter change to pass, would be:
– Aviation
– City Attorney
– Community Planning & Development
– Dept. of Public Health & Environment
– Dept. of Transportation & Infrastructure
– Excise & License
– Finance
– General Services
– Human Services
– Parks & Recreation
– Safety
– Chief of Police
– Chief of Fire
– Sheriff
The proposal would have to be referred to the November 2020 ballot by City Council, and would then be voted on by the people of Denver.
There are pro’s and con’s on both sides of this issue and they would like to hear from you about your thoughts on whether City Council should refer this measure to the ballot for a vote of the people.
This survey should take about two minutes to complete. Thank you for your time and input.
