PROPOSED Citizen-Initiated Charter Amendment: There are petition sections being circulated for a charter amendment to be on the ballot at the Nov. 7, 2023, Regular Municipal Election.

Summary of Charter Amendment: Reduce the term limit for elected officials from three (3) consecutive four-year terms to two (2) consecutive four-year terms; change the form of government provided for Aurora to a "mayor-council' form of government; remove provisions related to the city manager; provide the mayor the authority to appoint, dismiss, and direct department heads, directors, and executive appointees; provide the mayor the authority to veto legislation passed by city council; and add one at-large member to city council so the legislative branch of the city remains at eleven (11) council members.
