4. Opposing a larger City Council
- What it asks: Discussion and possible action on CF 26-0489. The agenda says the Charter Reform Commission recommended increasing the Council “from 10 to 25” members, that “The WHNC met and discussed this topic and does not recommend supporting this increase because the budget crisis at this time cannot support adding City Council members and their staff,” and that “The WHNC will generate a CIS to this effect” (agenda).
