This bill proposes amendments to the Charter of the City of Winter Springs, Seminole County, to establish a five-member city commission that includes the mayor as a voting member. Key changes include reducing the number of commission members from five to four, while ensuring that each commissioner is elected by the qualified electors of the city. The mayor's role will be revised to include voting rights on the commission, while the mayoral veto power will be removed. The bill also outlines the transition process, requiring a referendum to be held on November 3, 2026, to seek approval from the electorate for these changes.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the city commission will consist of the mayor and four commissioners, with new district boundaries to be adopted by January 1, 2028. The referendum will ask voters if they approve the amendments to the Charter, which include the restructuring of the commission and the mayor's duties. The bill stipulates that it will take effect only upon majority approval from the voters in the upcoming referendum, while certain sections will become law immediately.
