Hines, CMC, City Clerk <br /> <br />July 17,2008 <br /> <br />Resolution Calling for a Special Election on November 4, 2008 to Consider <br />Proposed Amendments to the City Charter <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is requested that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution that provides for <br />conducting a Special Election on November 4, 2008. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br />It was determined at the February 28, 2008 Commission Workshop that there was a need to <br />amend our Charter by: 1) redrawing residential voting areas by ordinance due to the increase in <br />the City's population, and 2) converting the At-Large Commissioner Seat to a Residential Voting <br />Area Commissioner Seat. Also, due to the overwhelming cost of elections, 3) changing the <br />election dates by holding general elections in even-numbered years in November in conjunction <br />with elections held by Miami-Oade County, and that the terms of all currently sitting elected <br />officials be extended to accomplish this goal. <br /> <br />This Resolution provides the required details regarding the conduct of a Special Election which <br />will be held on November 4, 2008 in conjunction with the County's General Election. The <br />Miami-Oade Oepartment of Elections will act as the Canvassing Board for this election. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />Ordinances to consider these proposed Charter Amendments are part of this agenda for Second <br />Reading, Items 9A and 9B, and are anticipated to be adopted. <br /> <br />To be completed by Dep:utment Head To be completed bv City Clerk's Office <br />Funding available: l\pprm'al: \)M ~ ,\genda Item No,: \ 0 & <br />Finance Departmmt City Manager I- II- O~ <br /> Commission Meeting Date: <br />
