2019/2020 Charter Review Commission Final Report
Per the Trophy Club Home Rule Charter Section 11.15 (d) the recommendations of
the 2019/2020 Charter Review Commission are:
1. Article III Section 3.20 Paragraph b
Currently Reads:
Abstention. Should any person on the Town Council choose to abstain from voting on any
question before the Town Council, where no conflict of interest exists, the person's vote shall be
recorded as a negative vote in the official minutes of the meeting.
Commission Comments:
Research of Roberts Rules and other agencies processes indicates that an abstention, although
its effect on the outcome could be either negative or positive, should be recorded in the
official record as an abstention regardless of how it affects the outcome of the vote.
Commission Recommendations:
The Commission recommends the removal of Paragraph 3.20 b and changing the title of Section
3.20 from “Conflict of Interest and Abstention” to “Conflict of Interest”
2. Article XI Section 11.15
Currently Reads:
The Council shall appoint a Charter Review Commission at intervals of not more than seven (7)
years. The Commission shall consist of nine (9) qualified voters of the Town. Each council
member shall appoint one member to serve on the Charter Review Commission, and remaining
members shall be appointed by vote of the Council. The Commission shall review the Town

Charter and make Charter amendment recommendations, where appropriate, that will help
protect or enhance the rights, powers and benefits of all Trophy Club residents. It shall be the
duty of the Charter Review Commission to:
Commission Comments:
During the process of its thorough review of the Home Rule Charter, the Commission found it to
be in good order.
Commission Recommendations:
The Commission recommends that the interval between reviews be extended from not more
than seven (7) to not more than ten (10) years.
3. Article XII – Transitional Provisions
Commission Comments:
This Article was included in the original version of the Town of Trophy Club Home Rule Charter
to facilitate the transition to a Home Rule form of government. It does not lend itself to any
other transitional purpose that may arise in the future.
Commission Recommendations:
It is the recommendation of the Commission that Article XII be removed in its entirety.
Conclusions:
The 2019 Charter Review Commission has performed a detailed and thorough examination of the
Trophy Club Home Rule Charter and has found it in good order. The Charter will serve the Town of
Trophy Club well as we move into the future.
