In plain language

A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.

This Fort Lauderdale charter amendment covers deals that let others use city-owned park land for more than one year. These include licenses, concessions, facility use deals and other use agreements. Each such deal would need a unanimous vote of the entire City Commission. A YES vote adds this unanimous-vote rule to the charter, while a NO vote leaves these deals under the current rules.
