In accordance with Section 200-1 of the City of Cleveland Charter, Cleveland City Council has appointed 15 Cleveland electors to the Charter Review Commission. These commission members, by August 1, 2008, are to make recommendations for proposed changes to the City Charter, which are reviewed by Council. Those that are approved are placed before the voters on November 4, 2008.
