A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Miami Lakes charter would require the Town Clerk to be appointed by the Town Council, with the Clerk reporting directly to the Council. The Council would set the Clerk's terms and conditions. The Clerk could be removed by majority Council vote. A YES vote makes this change, while a NO vote keeps the current appointment process.
