Pursuant to the prior comprehensive review and recommendations of the City’s Charter Review Advisory Board in 2017-2018, the City Council has determined that certain amendments (the “Charter Amendments”) to the City Charter should be considered for adoption, as provided herein.
Pursuant to Section 166.031, Florida Statutes, as applicable, the City Council is required to submit Charter Amendments to the electors of the City for approval or rejection.
This proposed Charter Amendment intends to amend Section 20 "City Manager Appointment" of Article II "Government" of the City Charter to provide for a specific process for suspension and/or removal of a City Manager, including: notice and an opportunity to be heard; and a super majority vote (i.e.: four affirmative votes) of the City Council for removal of a City Manager.
