À propos de cet audio

The source material consists of excerpts from a YouTube video transcript of an Augusta Charter Review Committee meeting, primarily documenting the public comment and discussion among committee members and former city commissioners. The initial speakers address issues such as adding individuals with non-violent criminal histories to the definition of traditionally disadvantaged groups for employment consideration, and the importance of integrity, ethics, and transparency in city government operations.


A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the form of city government, debating the merits of a city manager model versus the current system, the balance of power between the mayor and commissioners, and whether to retain the current legislative structure of districts and super districts.


The committee also hears from the Carl Vinson Institute regarding potential charter language for a manager form of government and clarifies the committee's authority and process for submitting its final report to the legislative delegation, which is a source of confusion for the public.
