Proposed Home Rule Charter

On July 14, 2014, the Leon Valley City Council appointed a group of prominent and civic minded citizens to study the City's governance structure. The Home Rule Commission consists of the following members: Chairman Arthur "Art" Reyna, Vice Chairman Jack Dean, Commissioner Rudy Garcia, Commissioner Kathy Hill, Commissioner David Jordan, Commissioner Liz Maloy, Commissioner Mike McCarley, Commissioner Darby Riley, Commissioner Victor Rodriguez, Commissioner Manuel Rubio, and Commissioner Al Uvietta. 

 

The Commission was tasked with reviewing and developing a governance structure for the City through a Home Rule Charter. The Commission has completed their work and on January 7, 2014 approved a Home Rule Charter that was presented to the City Council at the February 9, 2015 meeting of the City Council.   It is the Home Rule Charter Commission recommendation to place the Home Rule Charter on the ballot for consideration by the citizens at the May 9, 2015 general election.
