CHARTER ISSUES ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO MEET MAY 2
The Charter Issues Advisory Committee will meet at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, May 2, at the Volusia County Library Support Center, 1290 Indian Lake Road, Daytona Beach.
The County Council has asked the advisory committee to study these items and make recommendations for changes to Volusia's Home Rule Charter:
- Length of County Council terms.
- Salary of County Council members.
- Reimbursement of in-county expenses for County
Council members.
- Personal staff support for County Council
members.
- Selection and authority of the County Council
chair.
- Provisions regarding succession of the County Council chair.
- Term limits and staggering of terms for County Council members.
- Transition provisions for proposed changes.
The County Council has asked the committee not to study current charter provisions for non-partisan elections and elected department directors.
An interim report is scheduled to be presented to the County Council in May, followed by a final report at the end of June. Proposed changes would require a super-majority vote of the County Council before they may be placed on the November ballot for voter consideration.
For more information, please contact Matt Greeson in the County Manager's Office at (386) 736-5920.
