A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
The North Miami Beach charter would add language to Section 1.4 providing that the city's powers shall be liberally construed to include an affirmative duty to protect public health, safety, and welfare. That duty would be carried out using current and reliable data. The measure also adds related conforming language. A YES vote adopts this language, while a NO vote keeps the current section.
