Authorizing City Commission to Determine During Budget Process Whether Appropriations Should be Abandoned
What does this measure do?
The commission would choose when to end permission to spend money on long-term city projects instead of a five-year cutoff. Residents could see those projects stay funded longer or lose spending approval sooner; this measure adds no tax or fee.
Proposed by: Coconut Creek City Commission (Ordinance 2025-018, from Charter Review Board)
The city's elected commission. In January 2025 it named a board to review the city charter, the city's rulebook. It accepted the changes that board suggested. Voters must approve charter changes.

A YES vote means
The commission could decide during yearly budget reviews when to end spending approval for long-term projects. The automatic five-year cutoff would go away.
A NO vote means
The current rule would stay: spending approval for a long-term project ends after five years if no money has been spent or committed.
