Cleveland Heights Seeks Charter Review Applicants
Want to join local government? This could be the perfect opportunity to get your foot in the door of municipal politics.
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The city is looking for volunteers to staff the Charter Review Commission (CRC). For some, it could be an easy way to get started in local politics. It's also an easy way to impact the way Cleveland Heights is governed.
To qualify for a position on the CRC, some homework is required. Applicants will need to certify that they have read the CRC Memo and the Resolution passed by City Council calling for the CRC. Both documents are available online.
For those unfamiliar with the Cleveland Heights Charter, it is the key document in defining the role and powers of the municipal government. The document must be periodically reviewed and updated.
