Ok Nick I must be missing something.  The Charter itself, Section I-IX runs from page 1-15 of the Codified Ordinances.  Then you have Section 260 under the Andminstrative Codes, was it not the Administrative Code section that was modified and not the Charter itself by council:
 

TITLE EIGHT: BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

CHAPTER 260: BOARD AND COMMISSIONS GENERALLY

Section 260.01 Required meetings; minutes.

260.02 Failure to attend meetings.

260.03 Residency requirement.

CROSS REFERENCES

Creation of new offices; change of duties - see CHTR. Art. III, § 7

Public meetings - see ADM. Ch. 208

Falsification - see GEN. OFF. 606.10

Unlawful interest in public contract - see GEN. OFF. 606.17

Soliciting or receiving improper compensation - see GEN. OFF. 606.18

Disturbing a lawful meeting - see GEN. OFF. 648.05

§ 260.01 REQUIRED MEETINGS; MINUTES.

All City boards and commissions established by Charter, ordinance or the general laws of the State shall meet at least once every month during any calendar year and shall transmit a copy of the minutes of such meeting to the City Council forthwith.

(Ord. 2411, passed 1-15-1942)

§ 260.02 FAILURE TO ATTEND MEETINGS.

Nick I do not see anywhere in Articles I to IX of the Charter where it says all members of commissions/Boards must be residents of the city.  I do see in the Ordinances it says this and also where it makes exceptions for  the Airport Commission.
 
The City Council can change the Ordinances as they see fit can they not.  I am not saying I like it but they can change the ordinances.  The only recourse we as citizens have when this happens and most appear to be against  the Oridnance change, concerning Commission/Board members, is  for the citizens to move to have a referendum placed on the ballot concerning that matter.  Correct.

Here you go again Nick being a torn in Mr Landen’s ooops again. Clap
Why would he let something like the City Charter stand in his way.

The whole uproar about non-residents on city boards doesn’t make sense. The ordinance council wanted to change was just a reaffirmation of the City Charter. The City Charter can only be changed by a vote of the citizens of Middletown. Since everyone on council and/or part of the administration takes an oath to uphold the Charter, was this Charter violation incompetence or was it criminal? Once again our city “leaders” will not let the Charter, the law, ethics, honesty, integrity or anything else get in the way of doing what they want. Since there are outsiders on our boards now, that is a direct violation of our Charter. Who is going to prison for violating our Charter? Remember, these are the same fine people that would haul you or I into court over a bare light bulb, a stain on ceiling tile or pealing paint on gutters (whether there is any pealing paint or not).

From our Charter:

Section 260.03 RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT.

Every member of any City board or commission shall be a resident of the City.

Mrs. Moon please remain in your seat and do not raise your hand during class. We are not here to accept answers from the common people. Shocked LOL
Unless you've been appointed to a board or position by council please refrain. LOL

The city workers in the city building would never let little things like honesty, integrity, fairness, ethics or justice keep them from doing what they want to do. A hint for members of council, you can always tell if dept. heads and others in the city building are lying to you. Their lips are moving.

Without correcting this problem, it will not matter who is on council. JMO
