Explanation:
April 1, 2023:
At the March 1, 2023 Commission meeting the City Commission continued this item to obtain additional applications.
March 1, 2023:
On July 21, 2010, the City Commission passed Ordinance No. O-2010-31, which amended the City Charter to create a Charter Review Committee. On November 21, 2010 the City of Hollywood registered voters passed the amendment to create City Charter Article 11 Charter Review Committee.
The Charter Review Committee will consist of no less than nine (9) and no more than eleven (11) members. In appointing the members, the City Commission shall make every reasonable effort to appoint at least one member from each City district.
The members shall be residents and registered voters of the City at the time of appointment and throughout their terms. No elected official of the state, county or any municipality, nor any City employee, may service as a voting member of the Charter Review Committee.
The term of the member of the Charter Review Committee shall expire the day after the presidential or gubernatorial election, whichever appear first, held after the first Monday in November one (1) year after the year in which said members were appointed. The City Commission may, by resolution, extend the term, but only to enable the Committee to complete its work.
By a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of its then current membership, the Charter Review Committee may submit a proposal to amend or revise the Charter to the City Commission. The Charter Review Committee must submit to the City Commission any proposed Charter amendments or revisions with associated ballot language no later than the first Tuesday in June of the year in which the term of the Charter Review Committee expires.
The City Commission shall place the Charter Review Committee’s proposal with the associated ballot language on the ballot at the next presidential or gubernatorial election, whichever occurs first.
