City publishes charter amendment info

The City of Pensacola has added information to the city website about proposed amendments to the City Charter, in an effort to help voters stay informed when considering the proposed amendments on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Voters who live within city limits will be asked to consider these proposed amendments to the City Charter during the Nov. 8, 2022 General Election.

In accordance with the Charter, a Charter Commission was formed which met and developed a list of proposed amendments. City Council then reviewed those proposals and developed five questions that will be on the ballot for voter consideration.

State law prohibits the City of Pensacola from taking a position in favor of or against the approval of the ballot questions. In order for voters to have appropriate and factual information through which to make informed decisions, the ballot questions have been added to the city website, along with the sections of the Charter which are proposed to be amended by each numbered question. Language proposed to be removed is indicated by strike through, and language proposed to be added is indicated by underline.
