The Issue - EXTRATERRITORIAL JURSIDICTION

​

Residents of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), have no right to vote in city elections. Yet they are required to follow the rules that city officials decide to impose on their land. These community members are also affected in a significant way by most actions of the city council and city commissions.

​

No more than 2 residents of the ETJ to sit on each of the city boards and commissions. ETJ members will use the same application and have the same requirement as city residents.

​

Amendments to the charter can only be done every 2 years, now is the time.

​
