The Charter of the City of Crestwood. (click here to read it please.)

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you would please click on the header you will be directed to the City Charter which is the bed rock of Crestwood, and thus very important.

From time to time there have been those who would change it out of hand to suit their own agenda, or attempt to modify it for whatever reason, but it stands inviolate today thanks to the checks and balances put in by the framers.

Alas I am sorry to say it has become required reading in Crestwood as of late due to yet another attempted assault on it's very frame work. There are those forces who would make changes in it's chapter and verse to consolidate their positions for what ever reason, and this cannot be allowed to stand in my opinion.

Please take the time to read it and become well versed in exactly what it says, as well as what the framers vision was for Crestwood so you can oppose these forces when it becomes necessary. Remember we the citizens of Crestwood can call for a Charter review every ten years to make changes if wanted or needed. The last review and vote was some six years ago, so it will not happen quite yet.

I have lived here over 42 years and I have never been so concerned about our City as I am now! Please take the time to discuss this and other things with your Alderman, get involved in Crestwood Government, call the Mayor, but please make your wishes known so the forces who would change the charter and by extension our City will fail and our City remain the way WE like it.
