Proposed Repeal of the Civil Service Code
Summary
The city's Civil Service Code, dating back decades, now conflicts with Florida statutes and collective bargaining law. The city commission could repeal it without a referendum, and the board would be repurposed as a disciplinary appeal board for all city employees. Nothing has been finalized — the ordinance process with two readings is still ahead, likely this year.

Impact analysis
No cost figures were discussed; the change is procedural rather than fiscal.
City employees, especially police and fire, keep an independent appeal path for discipline while the city gets a legally defensible code.
No one directly, though board members' roles would shrink to on-call appeal hearings rather than regular oversight of promotions and testing.
