Most Charter Review Commission members do not favor having any councilmen elected at large.

Of the 15 largest cities in Ohio, 12 have some councilmen elected at large.

When members of any committee that misses more than three meetings they should be taken off of that committee especially Scott scholik and Amber Moon they missed at least two meetings.
three missed meetings that is a time for replacement. Columbus Ohio has all seats elected at-large. they have done. Struthers has elected at large positions for council seats. This city is doing very well as a city. What is the problem with having two elected at-large Council positions for the city of Youngstown.

Too many charter review meetings have been missed already.  Does the mayor know that his appointees are not performing as expected?

What kind of productivity do you expect when all them are political appts. The mayor did not go to neighborhood bw or association group s to ask for recommendations. The only hope for Ytown is for citizens to put the ir own charter amendment s on the ballot.
