In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Stuart's charter amendment would require voter approval before the city sells or leases certain city-owned land. The rule covers city-owned real property that contains recreational ballfields, when a sale or lease would run more than 1 year, including renewal options. Approval would come through a public referendum. A YES vote adds this requirement to the city charter. A NO vote leaves the charter without this requirement.
