In 1986, Orange County voters elected to adopt the charter form of government. As a result, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), conducts a new charter review by a commission appointed by the BCC every four years. West Orange Chamber of Commerce member Angel de la Portilla, President of Central Florida Strategies, has been appointed to the Charter Review Commission (CRC), which is the reviewing group. While the CRC is not allowed to change the charter, this group does decide questions, if there are any, to put forth to vote, with a report published 60 days prior to elections allowing voters time to make suggestions for changes. There are at least four public hearings for CRC meetings.
