City of Brownsville Proposition E (Charter Amendment: Office of the City Secretary)
What does this measure do?
Supports: Government Efficiency
Brownsville would write the city secretary's office into its charter, with duties to attend City Commission meetings, keep minutes, city laws, and records, sign official documents, and keep the city seal. The office could then be changed only by voters, not by the commission alone.
Proposed by: Brownsville City Commission (ordinance calling the Nov. 3, 2026 charter election)
The city's elected commission passed a city law (ordinance) calling the vote on changes to the city charter, the city's rulebook. Commissioners said their vote only lets voters decide each item.
