Charter Review Commission needs to hear from you

The next meeting of the City of Troy's Charter Review Commission is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, May 8, in the City Council Chambers.

The purpose of the meeting is to allow city employees to comment on any changes they would like to see made to the revised Charter the Commission is preparing to be put on the November ballot.

While this session is for city employees, any member of the public is welcome to attend, as has been made clear of all Commission meetings and hearings.

So far, the Commission has held three hearings -- one for the general public, one for members of city government, one for City Council members. A second hearing for the general public will be scheduled for some time after May 8, making a total of five.

Feel free to exercise your civic responsibility and attend, comment and/or submit your suggestions in writing to Charter Review Commission, c/o Ian Silverman, City Hall, 433 River Street, Troy NY 12180, or by e-mail to the Commission as a whole.

In addition to Silverman, the other members of the Commission are Bill Dowd, Flora Carr, Kevin Glasheen, Patrick Madden, Patrick Morphy, Jill Nagy, Kevin Vandenburgh and Ken Zalewski.
