This bill proposes amendments to the Warwick City Charter based on a resolution from the Warwick City Council. It seeks to expand the methods of notifying city council members of special meetings to include electronic notification, in addition to in-person service or leaving notice at their residence. Furthermore, it modifies the procurement process by allowing the monetary thresholds for small purchases to be adjustable by ordinance, with the new threshold set at twenty-five hundred ($2,500) dollars or other amounts as may be prescribed by ordinance and allowed by the state. Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the city council to establish standards for minority representation appointments to city boards and commissions via ordinance, replacing the previous requirement for minority party representation.

The proposed amendments will be submitted to voters for approval during the general election in November 2026 or at a special election if scheduled sooner. Each amendment will take effect only if a majority of voters approve the corresponding question. The bill aims to modernize communication methods within the city council, enhance procurement flexibility, and promote equitable representation in city governance.
