Discussion with Charter Review Committee.
Requested Action: City Commissioners to give direction to the Charter Review Committee
regarding changes to the Charter.
Explanation of Request:
The Charter of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida, is the constitutional document for the City,
establishing the underlying structure of City government. The City Commission created a Charter Review
Committee to be composed of five (5) members and ratified their selection of the members on August 5,
2025. The Charter Review Committee is authorized to review and propose changes to the Charter of the
City of Boynton Beach. The Committee shall function in an advisory capacity to the City Commission.
The Commission is holding a joint sunshine meeting with the Committee in order to provide the
Committee with guidance on the questions it shall consider. The Committee members shall at their first
meeting after their appointment, elect a chair and a vice chair and other officers as may be deemed
necessary, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Committee. The chair shall preside over meetings of
the Committee, shall be the spokesperson for the Committee, and cause to be carried out such other
business as the Committee deems necessary. In the absence or unavailability of the chair, the vice chair
shall serve as presiding officer. The vice chair shall have and exercise all duties of the chair for meetings
over which they are called to preside.
A City staff liaison and an attorney from the City Attorney's office will attend meetings as support
personnel. The City staff liaison will prepare agendas, post meetings, attend meetings, and prepare
minutes of the meetings. A majority vote of the Charter Review Committee shall be required to submit
amendments to the City Commission. The final Charter Review Committee recommendations shall be
presented by the chair at the October 21, 2025, regular Commission meeting.
The Charter Review Committee's recommendations are nonbinding, and the City Commission shall have
the sole discretion to determine which amendments it places on the ballot, if any, the final wording of any
amendments, and the timing of any election on Charter amendments. Upon final approval by the City
Commission, a referendum will be held where an amendment is presented to the electorate for final
adoption.

The Charter Review Committee shall be considered a temporary advisory board that will sunset once its
mandate is completed. The members of the Committee shall serve without monetary compensation.
Members of other City boards may be members of the Charter Review Committee as well.
