Summary
Council members' short two-year terms came up repeatedly as a possible reason to look at a charter. Law Director Hall pointed out the city can already switch to four-year terms through a simpler state-law process (ORC 731 and 733) without a charter.

Impact analysis
Switching to four-year terms via the state-law route would cost an ordinary ballot issue rather than a full charter process.
Council members would get longer terms to work on longer-term projects if terms are extended.
