To The Citizens of ?Nederland:
r$J
A Charter Commission was appointed by the Mayor and Councilmen of
the City of Nederland on November 22, 1954. The commission con-
sisting of fifteen members, has held many meetings, made a study
of charters of other cities in Texas, sought the advice of govern-
mental authorities in the TTniver.si.ty of Texas and the Tex ^s League
of M urcipalities, and reviewed the reeds of our own city of ?Nederland
The Charter as submitted represents the best collective and delib-
erate efforts to draft for the City of Nederland a workable and
modern: charter, vesting; in the eualified voters the exercise of all
nome rule powers aid provi.dirc for a Mayor- Council government.
It has been provided that the present Mayor and Councilmen will
fully serve out their unexpired terms, and that the terms of those
who will be elected in the April 1955 elect'_ons (under the present
form of ?overnment) will also be fully served out without chance
due to the adoption of this charter.
The number, method of i,umlnptjor, qualification and election of
Councilmen has been altered to assure more uniform and fair area
representation. A four ward system is specified, with one Council -
mar. to be dominated ',rom each ward by the people in his respective
ward and then to be elected from his ward by a majority of the
voters of the city at large. The Mayor, of course, will be nomi-
nated and electe=d by the voters of the city at large. The Charter
Commission believes that the best and most efficient government
can be had by officials elected by this method.
A City Mara -er has been economically provided for and it is in-
terded that the office has beer described in such a way as to re-
lieve the Mayor and the Councilmen of the r,urden of direct daily
executive and administrative duties insofAr as it seems advisable.
The City Council, including the Mayor, will retain all of the
usual policy making, financial, taxing, investigational and other
legislative powers.
An Engineer has been economically provided for to 91low for im-
proved planninn; and control of future improvement and mairterance
work to be done by the city. Ir_ view of the city's limited size
and financial status, it is intended that the Er.aireer shall fill
such other odministr tive or executive ,jobs as the city MStT find
necessary or des_rable, u-til such time as a full time engineering
department may be reeled and financially possible.
The Charter Commission on this 1 ^te, J ^.ru ^ry 29, 1955, having
completed its work, hereby submits the proposed charter together
with an order, as required by state law, settir- the d ^te for
election on the proposed charter at not less than forty (40) nor
more than ninety (90) days after this date.
The Charter Commission submits this charter in the belief that it
will provide for the best form of ceovernment. We commend this
charter to the present City Council and recommend its adoption by
•v

the voters of the City of Nederland.
For The Ch^rter Commission,
