| Charter Amendment - Commissioner/Mayor Salaries:
Currently, any ordinance proposing to increase the annual salaries of the Mayor and Commissioners is not effective unless adopted at least six (6) months prior to the next regular city election. The charter amendment eliminates the six (6) month requirement and proposes that Mayor and Commissioner salary increases become effective at the next Organizational Meeting held on or after the last Thursday in March.
Shall the charter amendment be adopted?
