The City Charter is effectively the constitution of the City. Cities typically form a charter committee to help draft the proposed Charter. The proposed Charter then must be approved by the City Council to be presented to the eligible voters of the city for approval and ratification at an election.
Palacios’ Home Rule Charter was crafted by a charter committee and adopted in 2004.
