Crystal River Charter Amendments
By Times staff writer © St. Petersburg Times, published November 1, 2000 Crystal River voters will be asked to address seven city charter amendments on Tuesday. They include: AMENDMENT 1: City Council chairperson serving in the mayor's absence has no veto power. AMENDMENT 2: Requires City Council to adopt an ordinance on city's purchasing policies and imposes limits on how much city manager can spend without council approval. AMENDMENT 3: Council and mayor salaries will be set by ordinance, not resolution. AMENDMENT 4: Mayor no longer must deliver annual state of city message to council and public. AMENDMENT 5: Council will pass an ordinance defining standards of conduct for council members and disciplinary action against them. Either the mayor or city manager would have the authority to call a special council meeting to address such questions. AMENDMENT 6: Provides specific timetables for a charter review committee to be formed and report to council, as well as clarifying methods of selecting committee members. AMENDMENT 7: Sets four-year terms of office for council members and mayor and implements a schedule for elections being held every two years.
