A YES vote means
Merge or remove some city boards, let supervisors change others without another ballot vote, and change city work rules. Closing boards could save taxpayer money; the measure adds no tax.
A NO vote means
Keep current city boards and work rules. The city would not get the estimated savings from closing those boards; taxes would not change.
