From the linked article on the charter commission:

"Any recommendations that the commission signs off on would be put on the November ballot."

I'm not entirely certain the commission's approval is necessary - I remember that the charter review process was the subject of an attempt by Mike Mitchell (through William Daniels and Elaine Davis, appointed 4th District commissioners at the time) to make it so that commissioners had to sign off on the charter review committee's recommendations before said recommendations hit the ballot.

I remember this because this was the beginning of the end of my reporting career - I got up from the media table and joined Richard Beeler in speaking out against the concept. (The motion failed and William Daniels still won't speak to me. Oh well.)

So, while I can't say you're wrong with certainty, I can say that I'm not sure you're 100% correct on that sentence... and frankly, I hope you're not.
