The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the City of Clyde Charter be amended to replace Section 4-8 in its entirety to eliminate the mandatory newspaper publication requirement for ordinances and resolutions in favor of digital-first publication methods including posting on the City's official website, physical City Hall posting, or electronic notification; to modernize codification and adoption-by-reference provisions; to add a savings clause preventing technical publication errors from invalidating an otherwise valid ordinance; and to delete the third paragraph of Section 7-2 eliminating the Planning Commission's Charter-level newspaper notice requirement for public hearings on zoning and rezoning matters?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote amends the charter to end required newspaper publication of ordinances and of Planning Commission zoning hearing notices, using website, City Hall or electronic posting instead.

A “No” vote means

A no vote leaves Sections 4-8 and 7-2 of the charter unchanged.

On the Clyde A through E ballots. Ballot caption: "City of Clyde Charter Amendment Section 4-8".
