Fort Lauderdale: Civil Service Board nominations, elections and duties
Fort Lauderdale city · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Should the City of Fort Lauderdale Charter be amended to prescribe a method for resolving a tie in nominations to the Civil Service Board Nominating Committee, modify the composition of the Election Board that certifies the results of elections for the classified employees' recommendation for appointment to the Civil Service Board, and remove the Civil Service Board's duty to review, consider, and advise the City Manager concerning job class specifications?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This Fort Lauderdale charter amendment would make three changes to the Civil Service Board. It would set a way to break a tie in nominations to the board's Nominating Committee. It would change who sits on the Election Board that certifies the results of the classified employees' vote to recommend a board appointee. It would also end the board's duty to review and advise the City Manager on job class specifications. A YES vote adopts these changes, while a NO vote keeps the current rules.
