HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—A Huntington Beach committee that was formed to review the city’s charter, or constitution, recommends that the city council change multiple elected positions in city government to be appointed.

In its April 26 meeting, the city’s Charter Revision Committee voted 5–2 in separate votes to recommend Huntington Beach’s city attorney, city clerk, and city treasurer be appointed by a councilor, instead of elected by residents.
