A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Palm Coast Charter would expand the rules for suspending or removing the mayor and council members. It would define ethics violations by reference to Florida law. It would also add meeting attendance requirements. After three formal censures, the City Council could petition the Governor to suspend or remove a council member for neglect of duty or malfeasance. A YES vote adopts these standards. A NO vote keeps the current charter standards.
