City Charter

The City of Wilsonville was incorporated in 1968 and is a home rule charter city. The City Charter is the basic law under which the City operates and can be amended only by a vote of the citizens. The Charter was amended in September 1999 with the addition of Section 43 regarding the use of the Willamette River; again in November 2002 with the addition of Section 44 requiring voter approval before city expends resources to construct any new city hall building; and in November 2004 amending Section 44 and clarifying the definition of "regularly scheduled City election".
