Charter Commission Explains New City
Charter to Be Voted Upon March 12th
The Commission, elected to draft a
new charter for the City of Clare submits the following article ^as one of
a series explaining the charter.
Why is the "home rule" form of
government, under which the proposed new city charter would operate,
a better form of government for the
City of Clare than the present "fourth
class city" type of government?
This question will be answered in
this article, the first of a series of
articles, outlining the provisions of the
proposed new city charter which will
be voted upon by the citizens of Clare
in a special charter election on March
12. /
Cities in Michigan may be, incor'
porated under one,of several types
of government structure. This structure—or former-is important because
it determines, in large part, how well
the city can operate,'with the greatest benefit, and the least, inconvenience .and expense to its citizens.
Briefly, home rule city government
for Clare means just what the words
imply:-a-government tailor-made to
suit :the city's own needs by an elected charter commission,and adopted
by the" voters. The adoption of a
home: rule city, charter, therefore,
concerns only the. citizens of Clare;
it is planned and drafted for them
by "their, .charter commission and they
alone "determine whether it shall take
effect. ,_    ' . . ;-'* '. .,.     .  ': ' ':
Bvery eity• in .■ this, state operaies
either undei; a home rule charter, a
fourth class (general law) city charter, or a special charter provided it
by the state legislature.. Every city
in Michigan which newly incorporates
or which revise's its charter must now
adopt a home rule city charter. However, there are a number of cities in
the state which still operate under
the Fourth Glass City Act or under
a special charter granted by the legislature because they were incorporated
prior to the passage of the home
rule act.
Clare is one of these municipalities
still organized as a fourth class city.
"Fourth class" refers to the size of
I the city, but it also means that the
j city's charter is a general state law
' which was passed in 1895.   The law,
provides a "borse-afid-buggy" type of
organization   literally   designed    for
"horse^and-buggy"   days,   and   many
of the powers needed for monern and
efficient municipal government today
are not included in this law.
The Home- Rule City Act, on the
other .hand, permits the drafting and
adoption of a "tailor-made" cnarter;
designed to best suit the needs and
requirements of each individual city
adopting such a charter,^ In other
words, while every fourth class city
operates under the same charter, (a
general state law),, every home ruie
city has the opportunity to operate
under its own particular charter,,
which is not likely to be exactly siiri-
ilar to any other city charter in the
State. *~our charter commissioners
itt Clare,, for example, drafted a Itome
rule charter which they considered
would be the best possible charter for
the present city of Clare."
Modern, efficient, flexible government is permitted under the Home
Rule City Act. Certain broad limitations arid requirements are outlined
in the Act, but the details of organization are decided by the charter
commissioners of the individual city.
'Clare's present chatter was adopted
53 years ago and. was designed to
handle the simple governmental problems of a small rural community. A
new home rule charter is much better
suited to handling efficiently the more
coinplex problems of Clare in 1948 and
in future years. The great wealth of
knowledge about municipal government which has accumulated Bince
1895 catt Only be utilized to the fullest extent in Clare by the passage of
a hotae rule form of government.
Form- of  government  organization
18 imjjortant.   A good form of government is'just as important.a tool to
City officials as are good tools to a
workman. • No .•matter' how conscientious a city commission may be, it Is
hampered and blocked by an inadequate;, obsolete charter.
^TWitext article in this series will
explain  One of the most important J
provisions of the proposed new char-:
ter—the   conimis'sioh-mana.ger   plan, j
It will also explain why, a 'small elected! gofefnitig body -and appointed ad*
miriistrative d-aiciaia are provided for
