MEMO FOR: City Clerk
FROM: Frank Del Vecchio
SUB J: Form of Petition for Charter Amendment
I am considering being the "initiator" of a city charter amendment initiative petition. [See
Charter~ sec. 7.05 reference to the "initiator" of a petition.]
My question is does the attached draft petition satisfy the requirement of sec. 7.03 of the
Charter that the form of the petition available in the city clerk's office is to be used,
Please advise if the form of this draft petition is acceptable, and if not, in what respects.
In section 7.01(2) of'the county charter there is a requirement regarding initiative and
referendum for ordinances that each person circulating a petition attach a sworn affidavit
stating the number of signers and the fact that each signature was made in the presence
of the circulator of the petition. The circulator is also to give his residence and precinct
number. Although that section is applicable to county matters, does the certification
included in the Miami Beach form of petition satisfy requirements, and will the county
Department of Elections accept the petitions for certification pursuant to sec. 7,04 of the
city code in that form? [Sec. 7.01 (2) of the county code has no requirement for inclusion
of the voter registration ID number of a petitioner. Please confirm that the voter ID no. is
not required although the Miami Beach form includes a space for that number,]
