A dedicated group of Hollywood residents/volunteers will be collecting signatures all over town in order to overturn the decision of the City Commission. According to the Hollywood City Charter, voters can reject the 1301 decision by collecting signatures from 15 percent of the registered voters in Hollywood and then presenting these signatures to the City of Hollywood, Florida Government City Clerk. The City Clerk will then count them and verify that all of the signatures are Hollywood registered voters. This is just one of the ways this project can be stopped.
“The electors shall have the power, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, to approve or reject at the polls any measure passed by the commission or submitted by the commission to a vote of the electors, such power being known as a referendum.”
“Upon the delivery of a referendum petition signed by at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of registered voters in each of four (4) districts of the city and at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of registered voters of the city as a whole, all as shown by the official registration books, the referendum petition shall be considered sufficient and shall be acted upon as provided herein.”
Volunteers will need to collect approximately 14,800 signatures total. There is no deadline, as far as they are aware. Volunteers will be holding petition signing events, walking door to door, standing in public places with clipboards, and asking friends and neighbors. Everyone signing must be a Hollywood registered voter. If they aren’t, the City Clerk will disqualify that signature. You can only sign for yourself, not someone else. You must sign on paper (not electronic). All of the registered voters in a household may sign the petition.
CITIZEN COMMENTS: You can make a citizen comment at 9 AM on May 4th at the CRA meeting, city hall, 2nd floor. Agenda item 4 is Citizen Comments.
The mayor and commissioners will be there at 9 AM and will listen to each resident speak (each resident can speak for a maximum of 3 minutes, and they are not supposed to interrupt you). You do not have to pre-register beforehand. Just wear a mask and bring ID and go up to the 2nd floor to sign up to speak. Fill out a speaker's card and hand it to the city clerk at the front of the room (Commission Chambers, 2nd floor, City Hall). Then wait for your name to be called.
9 AM is the CRA meeting- the entire city commission is the Board. 6 commissioners and the Mayor). Citizen Comments are in the beginning of every CRA meeting and you can speak about anything (including the condo).
