The Clallam County Charter Review Commission has launched a public survey regarding seven issues under consideration.

The online survey can be accessed at www.survey monkey.com/r/MZSFB38 until May 31.

The survey asks about the following issues:

• County commissioners are currently nominated by district and elected countywide. Should commissioners continue to be elected countywide or by the district they represent?

• Should county commissioners recuse themselves from participating in non-governmental organizations?

• Clallam County has a charter provision that requires the county commissioners to adopt an ethics ordinance, but it does not specify any requirements of the ordinance; should the charter create an ethics board or commission?

• Although there are multiple jurisdictions involved in water management countywide, none is proactively identifying countywide water supply concerns. Should the charter create a water steward position to operate as an independent, non-regulatory, information-gathering, analysis and advisory office?

• Clallam County currently elects three commissioners. Should that number be increased to five?

• The Clallam County Charter Review Commission meets every five years. The other six Washington charter counties conduct a review every 10 years. Should the charter review commission meet every three years, five years or 10 years?

• Should the charter consider the adoption of ranked choice voting options for county elections?

Written comments may be emailed to the Charter Review Commission at loni.gores@clallamcountywa.gov.

Any charter amendments agreed upon by the commission will be placed on the ballot for voters’ consideration in November’s general election.
