Rochester seeks applicants for Charter Commission

ROCHESTER — Seven seats on the 15-member Rochester Charter Commission are ready for new appointments. The four-year terms of six members are expiring at the end of the year, and another seat is open due to a resignation. The members with expiring terms have the option to seek reappointment to the volunteer board that periodically recommends changes to the city’s home-rule charter, which guides a variety of local government operations. While terms can be renewed indefinitely, additional time on the commission is not guaranteed with a new application. Commission members are appointed by the chief judge of the state’s Third Judicial District after review of applications. Rochester residents can apply for one of the seats through the end of the business day on Nov. 30. Applications are available online through the city’s boards and commissions application process at www.rochestermn.gov/council-administration/boards-commissions-committees. The commission typically meets from 4:30 p.m.
