Our interview schedule has changed for 3/14 Meeting!
CDC Secretary Mary Burgwinkle has reported that she inadvertently mixed up the date of Ms. Laddie Wyatt's interview with CSC. Ms. Wyatt was invited to the 3/28 meeting, not the 3/14 meeting as reported in the agenda for that meeting. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused! Interviews of Mr. Rashid Burney and Mr. Mark Fury will be conducted at the 3/14 meeting. Meetings are open to the public, and we hope to see you on 3/14.

The Charter Study Commission is well into Phase I of its study. Phase I involves study of the existing form of government, the Plainfield Charter (1968). In order to learn about Plainfield’s Charter, the Commissioners are reading it, comparing it to other similar charters and conducting interviews. Interviewees are former and present elected and appointed officials as well as other members of the community.
We thank Dr. Harold Yood, who has written extensively about Charter in his widely read blog, Ms. Elizabeth Urquhart, former City Councilor and City Council President, and Mr. Harold Mitchell, former Mayor, City Councilor and City Council President for sitting for interviews. We are grateful for the time and effort that they put into their interviews and we were happy to have them as our guests.
