REQUIREMENT FOR BREAK IN SERVICE AS MAYOR OR COMMISSIONER

The City Charter currently provides for a limitation on the consecutive length of service as Mayor or Commissioner, but does not specify any required break in service before resuming office. It is proposed that the Charter be amended to provide for a four year break in service before a person may again serve as Mayor or Commissioner, once the maximum length of consecutive service has been reached.

Shall the above-described Charter Amendment be adopted?

ELIMINATION OF RUN OFF ELECTIONS FOR MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER

The City Charter currently provides for both general elections and run off elections for Mayor and Commissioner. It is proposed that the Charter be amended to eliminate run off elections and to revise the method of election from a majority vote requirement to a system by which the candidate for Mayor or a Commission seat who receives the most votes in the general election is elected.
