Join us to discuss the topic of Fountain Valley becoming a Charter City on September 30 at 6 p.m. at the Council Chambers at City Hall (10200 Slater Ave.) or October 18 at 1 p.m. at the Recreation Center (16400 Brookhurst St.). The City will host two separate town Halls, which will cover the same topic.The City of Fountain Valley is currently a General Law City, which means it operates under the rules set by California State Law. The powers and authority for a General Law City must be consistent with what is explicitly permitted by the state. However, the city is considering becoming a Charter City. This would allow it to operate under a voter-approved charter, which acts as a local constitution. A charter, if approved by the voters, would allow the city greater authority and flexibility over its own local affairs.Please take the survey below to voice your opinion on the Charter City subject matter.
