	Municipal charter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A city charter or town charter (generically, municipal charter) is a legal document establishing a municipality such as a city or town.
		In the United States, such charters are established either directly by a state legislature by means of local legislation, or indirectly under a general municipal corporation law, usually after the proposed charter has passed a referendum vote of the affected population.
		In the United Kingdom, towns and cities are established by royal charter; see city status in the United Kingdom.

	Municipal Charters - Maine Townsman - August 1992 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A charter is the municipal equivalent of a state or federal constitution, and it is within the municipal charter where such essential questions as the structure of government, the distribution of powers within the government, and a citizen's access to government are-more or less-completely answered.
		Also, most charters, simplifying and strengthening the prohibited appointments statute at 30-A MRSA §2606, prohibit a former councilor from holding any compensated appointive position or employment until one year after the expiration of the term for which he or she was elected.
		By charter language, municipal managers are typically given the authority to appoint the tax collector and the various department heads, such as the fire and police chief, the director of public works, the welfare director, and so on.

	Charters, Municipal
		Typically, municipal charters specify the municipality's type of governing structure, its political offices, its financial powers including taxation, and the limits of its home rule powers.
		For the next 100 years, Chicago and all municipalities in Illinois were subject to the Cities and Villages Act, a general incorporation act that enumerated the governing powers given to all cities and villages in the state, forbade special legislation to meet specific urban circumstances, and reserved significant powers to the state legislature.
		Chicago voters ratified the amendment, subsequently sometimes referred to as Chicago's “little charter,” in 1904, and in 1906–7, 74 men, appointed by various political bodies and politicians, assembled as a charter convention to draft a new municipal charter.

	Hansard -- Tuesday, April 29, 2003 a.m. -- Vol. 14, No. 10 (HTML)
		The charter is based on principles of mutual respect between the province and municipalities and of public accountability, principles that are enshrined in the Community Charter itself.
		Municipalities will be able to respond to new issues quickly, knowing they have the tools to take action, for example, to respond to graffiti, disturbances in public places or unsightly nuisances.
		The charter also outlines the alternative approval process, meaning that electors may require that certain proposed municipal decisions, such as a new multiplex or art gallery, be put to a vote prior to action by council.

		The draft Barcelona Municipal Charter, which is the product of negotiation between the City Hall and the Generalitat (the Regional Government of Catalonia), should be examined in terms of its capacity to respond to the situation and needs not only of the City Hall, as an organisation, but also of the citizens of Barcelona.

		Under the Charter, the initiative must be signed by 1 per cent of the population, whereas the pre-existing situation was that 5 per cent was required.
