Community Survey: Should Fountain Valley Become a Charter City?

The City of Fountain Valley is currently a General Law City, which means it operates under the rules set by California State Law. The powers and authority for a General Law City must be consistent with what is explicitly permitted by the state.

However, the city is considering becoming a Charter City. This would allow it to operate under a voter-approved charter, which acts as a local constitution. A charter, if approved by the voters, would allow the city greater authority and flexibility over its own local affairs.

City leaders want your input to help them understand the community's interest and concerns about this potential change.
