In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Palm Coast Charter would raise the amount the City Council can commit to unfunded contracts without voter approval. The limit would rise from $15,000,000.00 to $30,000,000.00. The contract term would extend from 36 months to 30 years. Unfunded multi-year or lease-purchase contracts above these limits would need voter approval by referendum. The $30,000,000.00 limit would adjust each year for inflation. A YES vote adopts this higher limit. A NO vote keeps the current limit.
