Charter
The City of Franklin became a Charter Municipality in 1984, when the residents of Franklin voted in the Charter of the City of Franklin, Ohio. The Charter allows the City the advantages of self-government - also called home rule - conferred by the Ohio Constitution. The Charter establishes the City’s form of government; the corporate powers of the City; rules governing election to Council and Council procedures; and the rules for initiative petitions, referendum and recall. The Charter also establishes the powers of the City Manager, and creates the City’s various Departments, Boards, and Commissions.
