10. Article XVII Public Utilities.

The Charter Review Advisory Board of the City of Panama City has approved changes to Article XVII, Public Utilities. This action involves adopting new language for how public utilities can operate. The board voted to replace existing information with the "Pensacola language," which grants broad governmental, corporate, and proprietary powers for municipal purposes, unless specifically prohibited by law. This decision is now approved by consensus. The scope of work this change sets in motion is primarily administrative and legal, focusing on the interpretation and implementation of the new utility powers. Future opportunities may arise for legal counsel and administrative support services to help navigate and apply these updated regulations. Local businesses specializing in legal services and public administration consulting could find opportunities by engaging early to understand the implications of this revised charter article.

11. Article XX Boards & Commissions.

This item concerns proposed changes to the City of Panama City's Charter. Specifically, the Charter Review Advisory Board is reviewing provisions related to boards and commissions. The board voted to remove language about the Planning Board and to keep language regarding advisory boards. Additionally, a new section is being considered to establish a Charter Review Board that would meet after each Census, with the Commission determining the exact timing but no less than 12 months after a Census. This is currently under review. The potential work involves administrative and legal services related to charter amendments and the establishment of a new board. Local businesses in legal services and administrative support could be involved in drafting language and managing the process. Engaging early could provide an advantage as the specifics of the new charter provisions are developed.

12. Article XIII City Clerk and Collector - Discussion of job titles.

This item concerns a discussion and potential review of job titles within the City Clerk and Collector's office. Specifically, the Charter Review Advisory Board is considering separating the current City Clerk-Treasurer position into two roles: a City Clerk and a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or Comptroller. The board has requested staff research the necessary language for this change. This review is currently planned and under consideration, indicating an early stage in the public process. If changes are made, they could involve restructuring administrative roles and responsibilities. The scope of work would primarily involve administrative and legal research, drafting charter amendments, and public discussion. Local businesses that could be involved include legal services for charter review and drafting, and potentially administrative support services. Engaging early in this process allows interested parties to understand the potential impacts and provide input before final decisions are made.
