Bill > H4083

This bill proposes changes to the Charter of the City of Winter Springs, primarily concerning the structure and powers of its governing body. Key provisions include reducing the number of city commission members from five to four, while making the mayor a full, voting member of the commission, thereby creating a five-member city commission. The bill also revises the mayor's duties, notably removing their power to veto ordinances passed by the commission, and clarifies that the mayor will serve as a voting member. Additionally, it adjusts the number of commission districts from five to four and outlines a transition plan for these changes, including a referendum election to be held on November 3, 2026, where voters will decide whether to approve these amendments to the city's charter. The bill will only take effect if approved by a majority of voters in this referendum.
