Town of Fort Myers Beach TOWN CHARTER AMENDMENT MANDATING ORDINANCES REQUIRING DISCLOSURE IN QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARINGS, AND PROHIBITING UNLAWFUL GIFTS
What your vote means
A YES vote writes into the Town Charter a requirement that the town adopt gift-ban and ex parte disclosure ordinances consistent with Florida law.
A NO vote leaves the charter without this requirement; state ethics law still applies.
