Bloomington's Home Rule Charter was adopted in November 1960. The Bloomington Charter Commission studies issues and makes recommendations on proposed changes to the City Home Rule Charter which outlines municipal governance.
There are currently openings on the Commission, and Bloomington is accepting applications to fill those vacancies. The fifteen-member commission is appointed by the Hennepin County's chief judge. The Charter Commission's annual meeting is held on the first Thursday in May, 7 p.m., at Bloomington Civic Plaza, 1800 West Old Shakopee Road.
More information is available at the city's website. Apply online at blm.mn/board-app. The deadline is Sunday, May 1 at 4:00 p.m.
