September 10, 2019 – Press Release

“We The People of Clallam County” is the title given to the series of Listening Sessions and Candidate Forums, planned for eight different sites throughout Clallam County, that have been organized by candidates, running for Charter Review Commission.

In November, 15 people will be elected to form the Charter Review Commission, 5 chosen from each of the three districts in the county. Their mission will be to review the adequacy and suitably of the Charter to meet the needs of the county and its residents. Amendments, if approved by the Commission, will go on the November 2020 ballot, for approval by the voters.

During the first hour of these gatherings, the public will have an opportunity to share their ideas, regarding priorities for review by the Commission. Depending on the number of people wanting to participate, each person will likely have 1-3 min, to speak.
