Charter Review Advisory Board · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The Charter Review Advisory Board of the City of Panama City is considering removing Article XVII from the City Charter. This article currently addresses the City's flexibility in providing utility services. The Board voted unanimously to remove this article because its provisions are largely covered by state law. Removing Article XVII will not reduce the City's authority to provide utility services. This action is currently under review. The work involved would be primarily administrative and legal, with no direct construction or supply chain implications at this stage. Local businesses in legal services and government administration may find opportunities related to this review process.
