In November, voters in the City of Fort Lauderdale will decide on potential changes to its charter, which acts as the city\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n
In total, voters will vote \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d on 10 questions that affect 21 sections of the charter. They range from formatting issues like removing the hyphen from the term \u201cvice-mayor\u201d to creating new city positions for Police Chief and Fire Chief.<\/p>\n
One notable change includes restrictions that make it more difficult for the city to sell or lease land zoned as a park.<\/p>\n
The restriction would change it so the city commission would need a unanimous vote to sell or lease for more than one year any land zoned as a park. It would also make it so a unanimous commission vote would be needed to remove a park zoning designation.<\/p>\n
The city has created a resource<\/a> for people who want more information on each charter amendment.<\/p>\n The charter amendments will appear on ballots for the November General Election.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Fort Lauderdale chooses developer plan for new city hal<\/a><\/p>\n
