Proposed by: Cooper City City Commission (Ordinance 26-12)
The city's elected commission acted after its Charter Review Board met. A city charter is the city's rulebook. Florida law says city voters must approve any change to it.
A YES vote means
Limit pay and benefits to those of the lowest-paid full-time city job. Let raises take effect without waiting until after the next city election.
A NO vote means
Keep current pay rules, without this cap. Salary raises would still wait until new terms begin after the next regular election.
