City Charter Revisions Final Report

(link to home page of this site)

One of the first issues taken up by the Southern new Mexico Common Cause chapter was the question of the possible revision to the city charter. A series of public meetings were held to address the issue. One result was the formation of the City of Las Cruces Charter Review Committee with Woody Jenkins as chairperson. That committee gave its final report to the City Council on June 13, 2005.
