Below is a notice from County Council regarding the date and time for a public meeting regarding the Charter Commission Recommendations to the County Council. They have not included the information for calling in, if you would prefer to do that rather than come to the meeting. Once I have the Charter Commission recommendations or a link to them, I will share them with you. I would ask that when you receive them that you take a look and consider calling the Council members or sending them an email with your support for the ones that you would like to see placed on the November ballot. We hope that they would be at least the ones that address the issues of Transparency and the County Manager that the Dorchester Citizens for Better Government have raised. The best and most productive thing you can do is to appear at the Council meeting and take time to make a public statement as noted below.
Thanks for considering these issues.

TAKE NOTICE. Pursuant to Section 603(c) of the Charter for Dorchester County, Maryland, the County Council of Dorchester County, Maryland will conduct a public hearing on July 18, 2022 at 6:02 p.m. in Room 110, County Office Building, 501 Court Lane, Cambridge, Maryland 21613, to consider the report of the Charter Review Commission of Dorchester County, Maryland of the Charter Review Commission’s review of the provisions of the County’s Charter and the recommendations of the Charter Review Commission as to the necessity for deleting, adding or amending the County’s Charter.
The public is invited to attend the public hearing and to provide comments which are generally limited to three (3) minutes per individual.
