    ·Hazleton, PA
    Minutes

    The City of Hazleton Government Study Commission met on November 5, 2025, with seven commissioners present to discuss the development of a potential Home Rule Charter. The Commission must report its findings and recommendations within nine months from the election date, with options to extend work by an additional nine months to prepare a proposed charter and 2 additional months if recommending district-based council elections. The Commission consulted with officials from Altoona and Williamsport, Pennsylvania, reviewing governance structures including Altoona's strong City Manager model and Williamsport's strong mayor-council form with a 7-member council. A charter and final report must be submitted to the county 13 weeks prior to an election for ballot inclusion, followed by a one-month revision period. Commissioners expressed differing readiness to vote on pursuing a charter, with some requesting additional time to study government models and gather further input before proceeding.
