May 1, 2021 Special Municipal Election

The Robinson City Council has called, through resolution, a Special Municipal Election, to bring before voters amendments to the city charter. These amendments either provide for new regulations or change specific sections of the charter based on factors like – the growth of the community, new services provided by the City, or to bring the City charter in line with new laws passed by the state legislature.

These proposed amendments will be the first time amendments have been proposed since the Charter was adopted in 1999.
