Upcoming Ballot Decisions Summarized

Oct 20, 2010 | Opinion

Constitutional Amendment I
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to require the office of county assessor to be an elected position in all counties with a charter form of government, except counties with a population between 600,001-699,999?
It is estimated this proposal will have no costs or savings to state or local governmental entities. A yes vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to require that assessors in charter counties be elected officers. This proposal will affect St. Louis County and any county that adopts a charter form of government. The exception is for a county that has between 600,001-699,999 residents, which currently is only Jackson County.
A no vote will not change the current requirement for charter counties. If passed, this measure will not have an impact on taxes.
