The question on your ballot
Shall the Town of Fort Myers Beach Charter be amended to require the adoption of ordinances prohibiting acceptance of unlawful gifts, and requiring disclosure of ex parte communications in quasi-judicial proceedings, consistent with Florida law?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This charter amendment would require the Town of Fort Myers Beach to adopt two kinds of ordinances, consistent with Florida law. One would ban accepting unlawful gifts. The other would require officials to disclose ex parte communications, meaning contacts outside the formal hearing, in quasi-judicial proceedings. A YES vote adds this requirement to the town charter, while a NO vote leaves the charter without it.
