The City of Frisco became a Home Rule City in 1987 following the decision by council to establish a Charter Commission in 1986. The City Charter Commission made it’s recommendation to council on January 19, 1987. Voters adopted the City Charter on May 4, 1987.
Since the initial adoption of the City Charter, the City Council has called on citizens to establish a Review Commission on four occasions: 2001, 2009, 2013 & 2018. The Charter Review Commission presented recommendations to the City Council for amendments to the City Charter each time, and only one one occasion (2013) has City Council not moved forward with the option for voters to approve or reject these changes.
The city charters that have been approved by voters, and adopted are below.
