Citizens Petition Update: Mill Rate Cap Charter Amendment Petition Certified

June 25, 2026

The Municipal Clerk has certified the proposed Mill Rate Cap Charter Amendment Petition as sufficient under the requirements of the CBJ Charter. The petitioners’ committee submitted petition books containing 2,986 signatures, and after review and verification by the Clerk’s Office, the petition met the required threshold of 2,566 certified signatures.

The Certification of Petition has been issued and is available on the CBJ Elections webpage.

The Mill Rate Cap Charter Amendment will appear on the October 6, 2026 Municipal Election ballot.
