3. Section 2.07 of the Village Charter has been questioned as a result of the
language which indicates that a m�eting rnay be called independently by any two
mernbers of the Village Council. The Charter Review Committee may wish to discuss
this rnatter furkher, but the language is not uncommon in other charters and I do not
believe it creates a problem under th� Sunshine l.aw. Section �86.011, Florida
Statutes, applies to "any gathering of two or more members of the sam� board to
dis�uss sorne matter which will forese�ably come b�fore that board for actian." In
caNing a speci�l meeting, the hnrQ Council members would not be discussing a matter
which would come before the Council. Rather, the two members would be scheduling
the time for � special meeting, which is a matter of administrative business.
4. Questions hav� been raised ih regarcf to Section 2.08 relating to quorum, to
compare the state statutes to see how the s#ate statute deais with unanimous vofes,
super majority, etc. Secfiion 2.08 of the Village Charter currently provides that a m�janty
of the members of th� Cduncil shall const'rtute a quorum to do business, but no action
shall be taken except to adjourn, when only three (3) members are Qresent unless their
votes are unanimous. This is a common provision and it does not create �ny problems
under state law. ln the absence of.a statutory provision to the contrary, the common
law rule that action may be taken by the majarity of the members present, provided they
• are suificient in nurnber to consti��te a quorum of fihe body, applies in Florida. A city
ch�rter's requirement of unanimous consent to a designated action is validly met by the
votes of all members present who constitute � quorum even though they ar� less than
the full membership. Hawever, wher� a statute requires a un�nimous vote af a
municipal governing body as a prerequisite to effectiveness af a designated action, the
vote must be the unanimous vote of all members of the governing body rather than a
unanimous vo#e of the quorum present. Foc example, the new legislatian regarding
property faxes requires the unanimous vote of the �ntire governing body in order to
override the roll-back provisions. I do not believe tha# Section 2.d8 needs to b�
amended since the state statute will govern in those cases requiring unanimous votes of
the entire Council.
5. I belie�e that Section 2.10 rel�;ting to electors and elections is appropriate as
stated. It simply prvvides fhat electors and el�ctions shall b� as prescribed by Florida
law and as may be prescribed by ordinance of the Village in matters not preempted by
said law. If there has been a prablem with poll workers in the past, the answer would b�
determined by state law Qr, if it is not preempted by. state law, the Village could pass an
ordir,�nce relating to said matter.
