Charter City: What Does It Actually Mean?

With El Segundo City Council considering a Charter City ballot measure, join us for a conversation about what it might mean for our town.
About this Event

Join us at Brewport Tap House & Kitchen for a conversation about Charter Cities with special guest Mike Jenkins, founding member of MB United and a former city attorney who has spent more than four decades working in municipal law.

Jenkins recently wrote an article for the MB United Newsletter where he addressed the common claim that charter cities are exempt from state housing laws and stressed that communities should carefully examine both the benefits and risks before pursuing charter status.

With the El Segundo City Council actively considering a Charter City ballot measure, we'll discuss what Charter City status actually means and what powers it may or may not provide.

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your neighbors.
