I want to make a FOIA Request
HOME RULE INFORMATION
A petition has been filed with the City Clerk to put the following question on the November 6, 2018 ballot:
“Shall the City of Batavia cease to be a home rule unit?”
The City may not use public resources either to advocate for or against this proposition, but we want to make every effort to provide voters with factual information so that they may make an informed decision. For that purpose, the City has created a page on its website where residents can find helpful information for education about what home rule allows and also the limits of home rule authority.
HOME RULE INFORMATION PAGE
The Home Rule Information Page has been updated with a link to BATV’s recording of the HOME RULE INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION on October 8, 2018.
We are in the process of preparing a Q&A document using the questions that were posed at the meeting which will be published soon. If you have any questions about home rule please email them to the City Administrator at lnewman@cityofbatavia.net.
