What it does
Shall Article IV, Section 4.04 of the Charter of the City of Brook Park be amended to remove the requirement that any increase of over three percent (3%) in compensation for any elected City officials be approved by the electorate?
A YES vote means
Brook Park voters would no longer have to approve pay increases of over 3% for elected city officials.
A NO vote means
Pay increases of over 3% for Brook Park elected officials would still need voter approval.
Needed to pass
A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.
Left–right lean
Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
