The Miami- <br />Dade Department of Elections will act as the Canvassing Board for this Special Election. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />The Ordinance to consider this proposed Charter Amendment is part of this agenda for Second <br />Reading, Item 3A, and is anticipated to be adopted. <br /> <br />Approval: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Funding available: <br /> <br />Agenda Item No.: <br /> <br />~ 1-lJ<{-=lL <br /> <br />Finance Department <br /> <br />Commission Meeting Date: <br />
