The question on your ballot
Shall the City of McFarland adopt a City Charter that would provide local control over municipal affairs while remaining subject to state and federal law?
In plain language
Measure N asks McFarland voters whether the city should adopt a City Charter. A charter is a city's own basic set of rules. The ballot question says the charter would give the city local control over city matters. The city would still have to follow state and federal law. A YES vote adopts the charter. A NO vote means the city does not adopt a charter.
