Discussion and Action 
1.  
Resolution No. 5913, Ordering and Calling a Special Election for the Submission of Proposed 
Amendments to the City Charter Clarifying Term Limits for Councilmembers and Mayor 
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5913, ordering and calling a special 
election for November 4, 2025, for the submission of proposed amendments to Article II, 
Section 2.01 of the City Charter clarifying term limits for Councilmembers and Mayor; 
directing publications as required by law; designating the place and time to accept 
arguments for and against the question; establishing the conduct of elections including 
ballot tabulation requirements; authorizing an agreement for services with the County and 
payment of election expenditures; setting forth the voter registration deadline and Voter 
Rights Act requirements; designating the election as an all-mail ballot election; establishing 
canvassing and reporting requirements; and including a severability and ratification clause. 
 
MAYOR HARTKE said these items are to review and consider a path forward with potential 
amendments to the city charter in preparation for the election scheduled in November 2025 and

beyond. The Chandler city charter originally was adopted by voters in 1965 and it serves as the 
foundation of the city government. The charter is a document that defines the city’s structures, 
powers of elected officials, and how Chandler operates as a local government, like any 
foundational document it must be regularly reviewed and thoughtfully updated to reflect the 
evolution, growth, and modern needs of our community. Over the past six decades, Chandler has 
grown from a small farming community that was beginning to urbanize into a dynamic, diverse, 
and modern city of nearly 300,000 residents. Responsibilities have expanded, technology has 
advanced, and the expectations of residents has evolved over time: however, much of the charter 
language is same as when it was originally adopted. Some language could be outdated or 
ambiguous due to modern circumstances, which is why it is vital to ensure the charter continues 
to serve the needs of Chandler today as well as for future generations. Updating the charter is not 
about political gain or rewriting history, it is meant to adapt what is outdated. This task must be 
approached with accountability, and Chandler’s responsibility is to give Chandler voters the 
opportunity to consider meaningful and well-reviewed changes that enhance transparency, 
efficiency, and good governance.  
 
MAYOR HARTKE explained the second item tonight is to consider the formation of a City Charter 
Amendment Resident Advisory Committee consisting of nine Chandler residents with diverse 
perspectives to conduct a comprehensive review of the charter and recommend future changes 
that Council may consider placing on a future ballot. This is not in conflict with the first item for 
calling a special election for the submission of proposed amendments to the city charter clarifying 
term limits for councilmembers and mayor. Council has recommended individuals who are 
actively and positively engaged in the community for the committee.  
 
MAYOR HARTKE said the first item was tabled from a previous meeting. Council is entrusted with 
ensuring the language is clean, fair, and ready for voter consideration. He shared confidence that 
through constructive collaboration and responsible leadership these tasks will be completed with 
integrity. He reminded residents that any ballot items approved by Council will be ultimately 
considered by Chandler voters. The city’s role is to steward the recommendation process with 
integrity and ensure what reaches voters reflects thoughtful input, community values, and sound 
governance. By working together, Chandler can continue to honor its past, address the present, 
and prepare Chandler for a strong and responsive future.  
 
KELLY SCHWAB, City Attorney, presented the following presentation.  
• Chandler City Charter  
• Potential Charter Amendment – Chandler Charter Section 2.01(e) 
• Purpose of the Presentation 
1. Clarify why the current City Charter term limit language is vague and needs updating 
2. Explain the proposed clarifying amendment and how it reflects existing practice 
3. Outline the process for making and adopting a Charter Amendment 
4. Receive direction from the Mayor and Council on whether to advance the 
amendment.

• Why it Matters 
o The City Charter is Chandler’s governing document – our local constitution 
o Vague language leads to confusion, inconsistency, and public mistrust. 
o Clear, updated Charter language promotes transparency, fairness, and trust in 
government. 
• Current Charter Language 
o (Passed in its current form General Election 1996/Special Election 1997) 
o (e) Limitation of terms. No person shall be eligible to be elected to the office of 
councilmember for more than two (2) consecutive terms, or to the office of 
mayor for more than two (2) consecutive terms or to more than a consecutive 
combination of same. A person elected to two (2) consecutive terms as a 
councilmember or two (2) consecutive terms as mayor or a combination of same 
as above set forth shall not be eligible to hold either office again until four (4) 
years have elapsed. Councilmembers or mayor[s] who resign shall not be eligible 
for re-election or appointment until the second succeeding City election following the 
date of tender of their written resignation, except as provided in subsection 2.06(c). 
For determining consecutive terms for an incumbent Mayor, if the incumbent Mayor 
has been elected to two (2) consecutive two-year terms as of November 6, 2012, 
those two (2) two-year terms shall be considered the equivalent of one (1) four-year 
term, for purposes of determining this section. All incumbent councilmembers and 
the Mayor holding office on May 19, 1997, shall be limited to the number of terms of 
office authorized on that date by this Charter, unless there is a Charter amendment 
approved setting forth that incumbent councilmembers and mayor are eligible for 
election to additional terms. 
• History and Interpretation 
o 1965 – Chandler City Charter adopted 
▪ No term limits included 
o 1972 – Charter amended to include term limits 
▪ Limited elected officials to two terms  as Councilmember or Mayor 
o 1996-1997 – Charter language revised via General and Special Elections 
▪ Current version of term limit language approved 
▪ Included provisions for resignations, combinations of service, and transition 
periods 
• History and Interpretation 
o Historic Pattern of Service (Examples): 
▪ Raul Navarrete:  
• Council: 1966-1972 
• Mayor: 1972-1976 
▪ Ken Thomas: 
• Council: 1964-1976 
• Mayor: 1976-1979 
▪ Coy Payne (1982-1994):

Page 4 of 11 
 
• Council: 1982-1990 
• Mayor: 1990-1994 
▪ Boyd Dunn: 
• Council: 1994-2002 
• Mayor: 2002-2011 
▪ Jay Tibshraeny: 
• Council: 1986-2002 
• Mayor: 2011-2019 
▪ Kevin Hartke: 
• Council (appointed): 2008-2009 
• Council: 2011-2018 
• Mayor: 2019-Present 
• How did we get here? 
o The Mayor expressed interest in running for Council Member after completing two 
mayoral terms. 
o A legal review revealed that the existing term limit language is ambiguous and open 
to multiple interpretations. 
o Election law experts and others confirmed this lack of clarity. 
o The goal now is to avoid future confusion or legal challenges by clarifying – not 
changing – the original intent. 
• Why is a Charter Amendment Being Considered? 
o Risks of Ambiguity: 
▪ May result in legal challenges 
▪ Opens door to inconsistent enforcement 
▪ Can lead to mistrust or accusations of favoritism 
▪ Makes succession planning difficult  
o Charter Amendment Will: 
▪ Clarify, not change, the term limit intent 
▪ Align language with Chandler’s longstanding practice 
▪ Strengthen transparency and fairness

MAYOR HARTKE called for public comment.  
 
BETH BRIZEL, 6130 W. Shannon St. Chandler, AZ, shared support for Resolution No. 5913. 
Residents would like this clarified to avoid confusion and stop expensive litigation. Chandler has 
a history of councilmembers running for mayor, many voters have voted for mayors with past 
councilmember experience. It is beneficial for the mayor to have served on Council for experience. 
Chandler voters have supported keeping term limits at total of sixteen years. Adding this proposal 
to the November 2025 election is fiscally responsible and gives the voters the opportunity to have 
the charter clarified as soon as possible.  
 
RAQUEL ARMSTRONG, 222 W. Boston St. Chandler, AZ, said information presented at this meeting 
clarified concerns and thanked Council and city staff.  
 
MARCIA WEISS, 2743 E. Redwood Pl. Chandler, AZ, requested Council vote no on Resolution No. 
5913 to allow staff to review findings and take a thoughtful approach to charter amendments 
rather than including this question with bond questions already set for the November election.  
 
RUTH JONES, 2734 E. Birchwood Pl. Chandler, AZ, requested Council vote no on Resolution No. 
5913. Chandler voters at previous elections have upheld the existing term limits to honor the idea 
that no person should hold power for an extended period of time. Council should consider the 
wishes and intents of residents and voters when making choices. 
 
LESLIE MINKUS, 3372 E. Gemini Ct. Chandler, AZ, wanted to hear from Council why they’re making 
the decision to make this vote.  
 
RICK HEUMANN, 4310 W. Dublin St. Chandler, AZ, shared the initial intent by previous Councils in 
previous Charter amendments was not intended to limit anything other than going from council 
to mayor. He thanked staff for their work to clarify this language.  
 
LAN LECOUR, 1069 E. Senate Cir. Chandler, AZ, shared support for Resolution No. 5913 in clarifying 
the charter language.  
 
MARTIN SEPULVEDA, 891 N. Madrid Ln. Chandler, AZ, shared support for Resolution No. 5913. He 
spoke about the 1997 charter election to change term limits which considered updates for 
relevancy and resident input.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked Mr. Sepulveda what the time period was that he had served on 
Chandler City Council and asked for more context of the 1997 charter change.  
 
MR. SEPULVEDA said he had served on Chandler City Council from 1996-2000 and then in 2004-
2008, nonconsecutively. He spoke about the historical context of the time and about the 
importance of being involved in local government partnerships. One thing that contributed to the

Page 8 of 11 
 
conversation in 1997 was how mayors with shorter term limits had trouble with having standing 
to make decisions for the community especially in regional partnerships where funds may be 
distributed to different municipalities. There have been other attempts to increase term limits that 
citizens have voted to not approve.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if the intention was to create stability in someone moving from 
the councilmember role to mayor and allowing their terms to be set for two terms, eight years, to 
ensure stability in the region. 
 
MR. SEPULVEDA said the councilmember terms were not changed, the change was for the mayor 
to serve up to four two-year terms, increasing it from what it was of originally two two-year terms. 
This was needed to have stability and presence in regional and national organizations for 
leadership.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HAWKINS asked where resident engagement played a role in these prior 
charter amendment discussions. 
 
MR. SEPULVEDA explained that it was an issue initiated from the dais, but residents were able to 
give input before the election. The question did go to the voters. Council’s responsibility is to make 
decisions and refer it to voters.  
 
SHERRI JOHNSON, 3627 E. Agave Rd. Chandler, AZ, shared support for Resolution No. 5913 and 
thanked Council for reviewing this item again to honor the original intent of Chandler voters for 
term limits and emphasized the importance of having this question on the November 2025 
election.  
 
STEVEN VANKLAMPENBERG, 4375 S. Melody Chandler, AZ, shared support for Resolution No. 5913 
and clarifying charter language.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HAWKINS asked about the number of other charter changes suggested for 
consideration.  
 
JOSHUA WRIGHT, City Manager, said that there are a number of items in the charter suggested for 
improvements, it depends on Council direction. Some are to change language to reflect modern 
terminology, while some are to bring Chandler to best practices and standards in local 
government. These decisions would come to Council and ultimately to voters.  
 
MICHELLE DALY, 1710 E. Redwood Pl. Chandler, AZ, shared support for Resolution No. 5913 and 
thanked Council and staff for the clarifications made.  
 
MAYOR HARTKE read the comment cards received regarding this item (attached).

Page 9 of 11 
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS thanked Council and staff for their work on clarifying language and 
thanked the community for providing thoughtful input.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS said many residents have provided input on this item. He shared this 
item is upholding the historical precedence of Chandler and shared that attention to this issue is 
of importance to address questions and demonstrate mature leadership.  
 
VICE MAYOR ELLIS thanked residents for sharing their input. She spoke about the importance of 
doing the right thing and reviewing resident input and deciding what is best for the people of 
Chandler.  
 
MAYOR HARTKE thanked former councilmembers for sharing their perspectives. The role of 
mayor requires experience for not only serving Chandler, but serving in regional, statewide, and 
national organizations to better local governments. He thanked city staff for their support in 
preparing this item.  
 
Action Agenda Motion and Vote 
Councilmember Encinas moved to pass and adopt Resolution No. 5913, ordering and calling a 
special election for November 4, 2025, for the submission of proposed amendments to the City 
Charter clarifying term limits for councilmembers and mayor; directing publications as required 
by law; designating the place and time to accept arguments for and against the question; 
establishing the conduct of elections including ballot tabulation requirements; authorizing an 
agreement for services with the county and payment of election expenditures; setting forth the 
voter registration deadline and Voter Rights Act requirements; designating the election as an all-
mail ballot election; establishing canvassing and reporting requirements; and including a 
severability and ratification clause as amended to add a new subsection; and to amend the 
proposed Section (e)(5) of the resolution to read: 
COUNCILMEMBERS WHO RESIGN FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN TO RUN FOR MAYOR AS 
REQUIRED UNDER STATE LAW AND THIS CHARTER AND MAYORS WHO RESIGN SHALL NOT BE 
ELIGIBLE FOR RE-ELECTION OR APPOINTMENT UNTIL THE SECOND SUCCEEDING CITY ELECTION 
FOLLOWING THE DATE OF TENDER OF THEIR WRITTEN RESIGNATION, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN 
SUBSECTION 2.06(C), with directions to staff to make all conforming changes necessary before 
transmitting the resolution to Maricopa County for placement on the November 4, 2025 ballot; 
Seconded by Vice Mayor Ellis.  
 
Motion carried by majority (6-1), Councilmember Hawkins dissenting. 
 
Discussion and Action 
2.  
Introduction and Tentative Adoption of Ordinance No. 5132, Forming a City Charter 
Amendment Resident Advisory Committee

Page 10 of 11 
 
Move City Council tentatively adopt Ordinance No. 5132, forming a City Charter 
Amendment Resident Advisory Committee, to review and identify potential amendments 
to the City's Charter. 
 
MAYOR HARTKE spoke about item 2, the introduction and tentative adoption of Ordinance No. 
5132, forming a City Charter Amendment Resident Advisory Committee. The proposal is to form 
a nine-member committee to do a deeper dive on charter language, whether it be clean up or 
clarifying ideas. If this ordinance is approved, meetings for the committee will be held where 
members of the public are welcome. The committee will have the opportunity to engage with the 
charter document deeply and then bring their findings to Council for a potential future charter 
election.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said it is important for residents to review the charter and get involved.  
 
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO commented on the importance in the continual review of the 
charter document by residents.   
 
Action Agenda Motion and Vote 
Councilmember Orlando moved to tentatively adopt Ordinance No. 5132, forming a City Charter 
Amendment Resident Advisory Committee, to review and identify potential amendments to the 
City's Charter; Seconded by Councilmember Poston.  
 
Motion carried unanimously (7-0).

Good day, I write again as a long-time Chandler voter in support of this effort to put clarifying the term limit issue on the November 2025 ballot. This election is already upcoming, making the expense of another one wasteful and unnecessary.

Good day,
 
I write again as a long-time Chandler voter in support of this effort to put clarifying the 
term limit issue on the November 2025 ballot. This election is already upcoming, 
making the expense of another one wasteful and unnecessary. Moreover, litigation 
challenging the currently ambiguous language is likely, which would be another 
wasteful, unnecessary expense of taxpayer dollars. At the special meeting tonight, 
please act to provide a process that is fair, consistent, and clear to Chandler voters. 
Please vote to add this issue to the ballot. Thank you for your consideration.
