Updates to Outdated Charter Provisions
Shall the Charter, adopted in 1993, be amended to modify outdated provisions and bring the language into compliance with state law, including:

• Extending the time to complete the annual audit from within four (4) months to within six (6) months after the close of the fiscal year, unless an extension is authorized;
• Removing the four-year delay on implementing TABOR, which has already passed; and
