Charter reform ballot measure (strong mayor)

Resolution to submit a November 3, 2026 ballot measure amending the Oakland City Charter to make the mayor chief executive officer, create a mayoral veto with council override, establish an independent budget/legislative analyst office, require council confirmation of finance, HR, public works, and transportation directors, and reform Section 218. As the first of two required charter hearings, the action was to continue the item to the next council meeting (June 16), not an up-or-down vote. Passed 5-3; Councilmembers Gallo, Unger, and Ramachandran voted no. Amendments due to clerk's office by Thursday, June 11 by 4 p.m.

The other decisions are listed below by title. The full write-up, verbatim conditions, and the audio at each vote are in Pro.
