LEE COUNTY’S CHARTER REVIEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ITS PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO LEE COUNTY’S HOME RULE CHARTER Lee County’s Home Rule Charter, or local constitution, was approved at the polls by voters in November 1996. Simply, the charter spells out the structure of local county government and the powers and rights of citizens and officials. It also provides that a Charter Review Committee will be appointed every four years by the County Commission to propose amendments or revisions to the charter. The Committee’s proposed changes are then considered by Commissioners for possible placement on the general election ballot. Changing to single-district commissioners might break the Republican dominated commissioners. The Charter Committee is finishing its work. Of primary importance to Democrats are decisions on Single Member District (SMD) voting. Three approaches are on the table for SMD: 1) 4 SMD Commissioners and 3 at-large Commissioners 2) 5 SMD Commissioners and 2 at-large Commissioners 3) 5 SMD Commissioners Choices #1 and #2 may cost the County more money. Choice #3 which allows the 5 Districts to elect their own Commissioners.
