FLORIDA STATUTES 166.031

The governing body of a municipality may, by ordinance, or the electors of a municipality may, by petition signed by 10 percent (10%) of the registered electors as of the last preceding municipal general election, submit to the electors of said municipality a proposed amendment to its charter, which amendment may be to any part or to all of said charter except that part describing the boundaries of such municipality. The governing body of the municipality shall place the proposed amendment contained in the ordinance or petition to a vote of the electors at the next general election held within the municipality or at a special election called for such purpose.

CITY OF LAKE WORTH
Charter amendments
Section 9 c) Petitions.
(1) Number of signatures. Initiative and referendum petitions must be signed by qualified voters of the city equal in number to at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of qualified voters registered to vote at the last general city election.

As our city continuously cites State Statutes when its convenient in order to try and put doubt or over-turn an election, what about getting our Charter up-to-date? Our rules need to reflect State Statutes. Has anyone visited Lake Worth Muni-code lately? 

Oh, and just as a reminder--
The  election results won by the people on 45 feet in our downtown east of Dixie and 35 feet west, stand per Florida Statutes Section 166.031(2) and was effective on the date it was certified, March 19, 2013. According to the Inspector General's office, the date that the revised charter was filed or not filed with the Department of State, has no legal effect on whether or when the charter amendment is effective.
