The Edgewater Charter is the formal written document that establishes the structure of the City of Edgewater.  The current Edgewater Home Rule Charter requires the City Council to review the Charter for possible amendments at least once every six (6) years. The City Council last reviewed the Charter in 2020.

City Council has created the Charter Review Task Force composed of community members to review and propose amendments. Utilizing community members to review the charter provides more community input and engagement on the review process. Amendments will be presented to City Council as the basis for possible ballot issues in 2026 or later. 

Any changes would not occur unless there is a successful vote of the people in an upcoming election.
