In plain language

A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.

Mountain View Ballot Question 2C would repeal Article VIII of the town’s home rule charter, which covers boards and commissions. Town Council could then create boards and commissions by ordinance, instead of needing voters to approve a charter amendment. A YES vote repeals the article. A NO vote keeps the current charter requirement.
