Schertz voters will consider 15 updates to the municipality's nearly 10-year-old city charter — making it the longest ballot in Bexar County.
Schertz City Council members placed 15 measures on the general election ballot alongside two council seats.Voters in one Bexar County municipality will have more to consider on the upcoming Nov. 5 general election ballot than any other.
The last time Schertz, with a population of 45,000, revised its charter was in 2015. The council considered the propositions in June and called for the election in July. The other has to do with process. Voters are being asked whether the charter should be amended to remove the signing of plats, or legal documents showing plots for a housing subdivision, from the list of official documents required to be signed by the mayor.
The commission also recommended an amendment that reduces the number of required referendum petition signatures from 15% to 10% of registered voters, and the signatures required for a recall petition from 20% to 15%.
