The commission submitted its final report along with the
proposed charter to the mayor in April 1964. Mayor McKeldin endorsed
the proposed charter and passed it on to the city council for
approval. The council insisted on some changes, most of which the
commission agreed to. The final version incorporated all the major
recommendations of the commission except the provision for an
assistant mayor and establishment of a Department of Personnel. After
voter approval of the charter, the commission was formally terminated
in July 1964.
