Flower Mound Charter Amendments Will Go To The May 2012 Ballot

The Flower Mound Town Council voted to send 12 of the 13 amendments to the May Municipal Election Ballot. Charter Amendment #3, which addressed council compensation, was the only one not to make it to the ballot.
The most important Charter Amendment, the requirement of a super majority to change or repeal the ordinance, will go to the people of Flower Mound to vote. This is good news for those of us concerned about the safety of our new strong ordinance.

More details to come later.

ATTENTION: Flower Mound Town Council to discuss, consider and adopt Charter Review Amendments

Flower Mound Town Council will have a Public Hearing, Monday, March 5th, to discuss and consider proposed Charter Amendments and adopt an ordinance ordering a special election for May 12, 2012, to amend the Home Rule Charter of the Town of Flower Mound.

Of course the most important amendment is the one to require a super majority to amend.

As previously posted, the new stronger, more protective ordinance may be in jeopardy.

This is a public hearing and any resident can show up. You may speak at this meeting or send emails to voice your concern.

Let the Town Council know you want them to adopt ALL the recommendations from the Charter Review so they can be put on the May 12, ballot.
