This Public Hearing is being held at the Deer Park Municipal Building, 7777 Blue Ash Rd, Deer Park, OH 45236. This is one of two hearings being held by the Commission for public input on the Charter. The 2nd hearing is Sat May 30 at noon. See Gov't Tab for link to the DRAFT CHARTER.
The following is an excerpt from the Charter Commission Chairman:
"Until June 1, 2020, the Commission is soliciting comments from the public regarding the proposed draft. If you’d like to comment, you have a few options. First, you can comment in writing by sending an email or letter to the Commission to express your views on the proposed draft. Any written comments received on or before June 1 from a resident of Deer Park will be reviewed by the Commission and filed as part of the minutes that are an official record of the Commission’s work. You also have an option of attending a hearing where you can offer testimony to the Commission regarding your view of the draft.
Given the current advice from the Ohio Department of Health and limitations on public gatherings to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, please check back for updates to the hearing schedule. Also, you are encouraged to participate in this process by written comment, rather than attending the hearing for a few reasons. First, having a written record of your comments is the most useful form of comment to the Commission because your opinion will be clear and preserved as part of the official record of the Commission’s work. Second, gathering in a large group in the present circumstances presents some risk both to the public and the members of the Commission. Finally, given the unpredictable times, its not certain where we will be as a society in several weeks and whether public hearings will be possible even if we anticipate now that the hearings will be held. That said, the choice is yours how to best inform your government regarding your opinion.
After the Commission considers changes to the draft charter as a result of public comment, the charter will be submitted to City Council who will have the opportunity to amend it further, as Council sees fit. Then the draft will be distributed to every elector (voter) in writing before it appears on the ballot in November for approval by the residents of Deer Park."
