County charter amendments on taxes, Sheriff and appointments
Seven proposed charter changes were introduced — requiring voter approval of new county taxes, campaign finance laws, an elected Sheriff from 2028, Council confirmation of Executive removals, Executive power over the Sheriff, and clarifying Prosecutor/Law Director roles.
