AWARD OF BIDS AND CONTRACTS: 6.G.1. None 7. REGULAR AGENDA: 7.A. DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED charter amendment REQUIRING A SUPERMAJORITY TO REMOVE THE city manager Sponsors: City Attorney Department Lynn Gelin, City Attorney, explained that any modifications to the City’s Charter must go through a referendum. She stated that the process would begin with presenting an Ordinance to the City Commission. If the ordinance is adopted, it will be placed on the March ballot for voter approval. Mayor Carney stated that a Commission cannot remove a City Manager without proper justification. He suggested that City residents should have the opportunity to vote on this issue during a general election, rather than a municipal election, to boost voter turnout if such a situation arises. Mayor Carney acknowledged that the City has had the same City Manager for the past five (5) years and is inclined to keep the charter in its current form. Vice Mayor Long emphasized that it was only fair to allow residents to vote on this matter, especially given the strong turnout at the public hearing that evening. He noted that during his campaign, residents frequently expressed their desire to reinstate a supermajority to ensure their voices are heard. Commissioner Casale noted that none of the surrounding municipalities, except for Boynton Beach, has a supermajority requirement. She noted that during the 2014 primary election, residents voted to remove the supermajority requirement. Deputy Vice Mayor Burns mentioned that a supermajority could have both positive and negative effects, but emphasized that the decision should lie with the residents. City of Delray Beach Page 8 Printed on 12/10/2025 City Commission Minutes - Final November 4, 2025 Commissioner Markert stated that the Commission discusses and debates everything on the dais and expressed his support for maintaining the current approach. Commissioner Burns clarified that this issue concerned the City Manager's position, not Mr. Moore directly. Vice Mayor Long stated for the record that he and Mr. Moore never discussed this issue. Mr. Moore stated that the idea of reinstating a supermajority vote did not originate with him. He emphasized that his primary focus and commitment have always been to serve the best interests of residents and stakeholders in every municipality where he has worked, and that if the majority of the Commission wanted him to leave, he would do so voluntarily. There was a 3-2 consensus not to move this item forward at this time. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS/SECOND READINGS: 8.A.
