Panama City Commission to consider charter revisions; vote expected by July 28
Summary
Hayes said the commission reviewed recommendations from the charter review advisory board during a June 15 workshop and that the commission is expected to vote on proposed charter revisions by July 28; if approved, revisions would appear on the November ballot for Panama City voters.
Jonathan Hayes said the city commission reviewed charter revisions recommended by the charter review advisory board during a June 15 workshop, including proposed changes affecting the clerk-treasurer role, agenda-setting procedures and election scheduling. He said the commission is expected to vote on the proposed revisions by July 28, and that if the commission approves them the updated charter would appear on the November ballot for Panama City voters.
Hayes did not provide the full text of the proposed revisions in this update. The commission's scheduled vote and the placement on the November ballot make the changes a public, voter-facing decision; Hayes said the revisions would move forward only if approved by the commission and subsequently by voters.
Next procedural steps cited by Hayes are the presentations scheduled at the July commission meetings and the anticipated July 28 commission vote; Hayes did not state whether the commission had already scheduled any public hearings beyond those meetings.
