City Charter
Mayor Lyn Truitt or the newly elected Council members John Longabaugh, Richard Alton, John Williams or Skip Hall apparently do not want to discuss forming a charter for the City of Surprise, is it because they would have to conform to the wish’s of it’s citizens? Councilman Joe Johnson has never addressed this issue to my knowledge.
The advantages to adopting a charter are many, but perhaps the most important single advantage is that it allows a city to pause and evaluate, in depth, its present operations. On the basis of these evaluations, the city can create by charter the form of government that will best serve its particular needs. This is an important advantage, for no two cities are culturally, socially or structurally alike. The city charter can accommodate this individual uniqueness.
All ordinances previously enacted which are in conflict with the
newly adopted charter are automatically repealed or suspended.
