In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The Miami Lakes charter would make a set of technical updates. These include replacing councilmember or councilmembers with member or members of the Council throughout the charter. The changes would also replace hearing with meeting in the Citizens Bill of Rights and correct cross-references from article to Bill of Rights. They would remove disability from Section 2.5 to conform to Florida Statutes, update the Town map, and make other non-substantive corrections. A YES vote adopts these cleanup changes, while a NO vote keeps the current wording.
