📜 What is a City Charter?

Think of it as our city’s constitution — the foundational document that defines how our local government works. It outlines the structure of city government and its responsibilities to the community.

For example, our city charter doesn’t just require essential services like a police and fire department — it also mandates support for our public library! 📚✨

That means our city is legally committed to keeping these vital services running for everyone’s safety, education, and well-being.

Know your rights. Know your city. đź’ˇ
