19 potential City Charter amendments in the draft ordinance, and concluded that many
of them would not change the way the City conducts business, and could be enacted by
the City Commission as amendments to the City Code, thereby reducing the number of
questions on the ballot. Further, Mr. Groot and Ms. Dougherty advised that the City
Charter requirement that the full text of all proposed City Charter amendments be
published in a newspaper is financially burdensome and that information on proposed
City Charter amendments could be noticed by other means. The City Commission

showing fundamental City Charter amendments and those that could be adopted by
ordinance for inclusion in the City Code.
