III. The Charter Amendment Process by Referendum.

City Council Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a potential change to the City of Melbourne's charter regarding appointive boards. Florida law requires that any charter changes about appointive boards must be approved by voters through a referendum. This process is currently under review. The city is examining how to handle these types of charter amendments. This review could lead to future public hearings or steps to place the matter on a ballot. Businesses involved in public outreach, legal services, and election support may find opportunities as this process moves forward. Early engagement with city staff or officials could provide insight into the timeline and specific needs.
