City of Brownsville Proposition I (Charter Amendment: Audit and Oversight Committee Authority to Engage External Auditors)
What does this measure do?
Supports: Anti-Corruption
Brownsville's Audit and Oversight Committee could hire and fire the city's outside auditors and advisors and approve their work and fees, instead of leaving that to city administration. Residents would get audits chosen by an oversight committee rather than by the officials being audited.
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.

A YES vote means
The audit committee, not city administration alone, controls which outside auditors work for the city and what they are paid to do.
A NO vote means
Hiring outside auditors and approving their fees stays with the existing city process, and the committee keeps only its current responsibilities.
No financial records found for this ballot measure.
