Posted Fri, Jul 1, 2022 at 8:02 am ET Medford’s charter establishes the city’s governing system and structure. It specifies term lengths for elected officials, the presence or absence of term limits, the composition of the City Council and School Committee, the city’s form of executive leadership, and more.
“Medford’s charter has not been reviewed in forty years, and with antiquated and inefficient policies and procedures guiding Medford’s government structure, I have made it a priority to update the charter to be more equitable and representative of the community,” Mayor Lungo-Koehn said in a statement. “We have tried a variety of different ways to get this approved and all have been met with resistance. By forming a committee comprised of advocates, residents and community leaders, we hope to be able to get this process across the finish line.” https://patch.com/massachusetts/medford/medford-mayor-will-establish-committee-study-city-s-charter
