Ballot question for Measure L:
"Shall specified sections of the City Charter be amended to allow appropriations or expenditures of public money to be approved by resolution; permit the City Council to establish by motion a date for the City Manager to submit a proposed budget; and permit the City Council to adopt its budget and cancel any approved appropriation by resolution?"
