Voters in Palmview will decide on amendments to the city charter during the upcoming Nov. 7 elections.

Proposition 1 asks voters to consider decreasing the current city council from six to five members. 

Proposition 2 asks voters to decide whether the city manager should be a contracted employee. 

Palmview city attorney Eden Ramirez says those propositions were introduced to bring the city charter up to speed with the times. 

“The charter has not been amended since its inception over 20 years ago,” Ramirez said. “The charter needs to keep up with the city, the practices a city has with only 2,000 residents is entirely different than a city that now has 15,000 residents.”

Ramirez says the city is also proposing increasing the number of judges in municipal court in Proposition 3 to keep up with that growth.

Proposition 4 is asking voters to change the day the city budget is adopted to Oct. 29 to line up with the state's fiscal year calendar.

The last day of Early Voting is Friday, Nov. 3.
