PORT ANGELES — The Clallam County Charter Review Commission will hold its inaugural meeting Thursday.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Room 160 of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.
Commission members will take oaths of office, elect officers and discuss rules of procedures, meeting schedules and “any other matters regarding the conduct of the business of the commission,” convening member Sue Forde said in a notice signed last week.
Fifteen members were elected to the commission during the Nov. 4 general election, five from each of the three county commissioner districts.
The panel will review the charter, Clallam County’s “constitution” for government, and recommend amendments that will go before voters next November.
District 1 extends from the eastern county line to Boyce Road in Carlsborg. District 2 is the area between Boyce Road and Valley Creek in Port Angeles. District 3 covers the West End beginning at Valley Creek.
District 1 is represented on the Charter Review Commission by Forde, Ken Hays, Ronald Bell, Nola Judd and Ted Miller.
District 2 committee members are Glenn Wiggins, Norma Turner, Maggie Roth, Steven Burke and Selinda Barkhuis.
District 3 is represented by Mike Doherty, Barbara Christensen, Connie Beauvais, Cheryl Williams and Rod Fleck.
Clallam County is one of six of 39 counties in the state that operate under a home-rule charter, unlike most where procedures are dictated by the Legislature.
A Charter Review Commission is elected every eight years.
