Re: Proposed Charter Amendment Extending Term of Mayor
from two to four years.
Dear Cesar:
am pleased to write to you and request an opportunity
for me to appear before the City Commission, as a private
t
citizen and taxpayer, to discuss the above proposal.
Basically, I would like to suggest that the Commission
consider placing a proposed charter amendment on the ballot
in September 1986 which would call for a change in the charter
whereby the Mayor would run and be elected for a term of
four years. I believe that this change is important for
the stability of the community and is in keeping with the
length of the terms for which City Commissioners are elected.
I would respectfully request that I be permitted to
appear at the meeting of the Commission which I understand
is scheduled for Thursday, March 27, 1986. I have a meei_ing
all morning on that date and would particularly be pleased
if I might be able to appear after the luncheon break at
approximately 2:00 p.m. or anytime shortly thereafter at
your convenience.
r I would also be pleased to submit a proposed charter
change to you prior to the meeting so that you and your
legal staff might review it and include it in any packet
you may consider submitting to the Commission in connection
with this proposal.
I would, of course, also be pleased to meet with you,
at your convenience, if you so desire, in order to discuss
this proposal.
With kindest personal regards, I remain
Cordially,
M tznine
