Chairman Wheeler replied that the issue could be debated at other workshops. <br />Rene Renzi, Waverly Place, sought to clarify her understanding that under Charter <br />government there can be a non-partisan county commission. She also wanted to know if the voters <br />would be able to set the pay scale for the county commission. <br />Ms. Delegal replied, "Yes", to both questions, advising that it is a choice that can be <br />made in the Charter. <br />Mayor Tom White, City of Vero Beach asked if a county's voter referendum <br />would override a city's Charter for its height and density. <br />Ms. Delegal said it depends, for example, if there were conflicts like an annexation <br />or new development going in then the Charter could choose and the people would vote on that <br />particular choice. <br />Mayor White asked if there were any provisions for a dual referendum. Ms. <br />Delegal informed him that there are provisions for that in certain circumstances. <br />Bea Gardner, Vero Beach, was looking for "perceived unintentional <br />consequences" and asked if there was a list or red flag items to be had so that we could perceive <br />unintentional consequences of going to a Charter. Ms. Delegal did not know of such a list but said <br />there were consultants and attorneys with expertise in that area that could help. <br />David Nolte, 900 Royal Palm Place, did not hear anything about the concept of <br />sovereign immunity. Ms. Delegal assured him that a Charter does not alter sovereign immunity. <br />Public Workshop 01/17/07 9 <br />Charter Government <br />
