Election Day
TWO REFERENDUM QUESTIONS:
Increase the residency period required for elected officials to run for office from six months to twelve months
The charter requires a candidate running for mayor to continuously reside in the City and candidates running for city commission to continuously reside in their respective
district for the six-month period immediately prior to the date of election. Should the six-month period be increased to a twelve-month period?
Prohibiting Mayor's outside employment and limiting business relationships
The charter requires the Mayor to devote full time to city duties but does not otherwise limit outside employment or business relationships. Should the charter be amended to
prohibit the Mayor from having outside employment and limit holding a financial interest in any business entity to interests that will not impair the Mayor’s independent judgment or conflict with the performance of city duties?
