As for the amendments, there are three requiring a vote.

Amendment No. 1 is about increasing the term limits of vice mayor, district councilmember, and councilmember-at-large from eight years to twelve years.

Amendment No. 2 is about increasing the term limits of vice mayor, district councilmember, and councilmember-at-large from eight years to twelve years. This would require a reduction in the size of the Metropolitan Council.

Amendment No. 3 is about requiring the Division of Purchases ensure forty percent of the total construction work hours are worked by Davidson County residents and ten percent of the total construction work hours are worked by low income residents of Davidson County. These rules will apply only for public improvement projects amounting in $100,000 or more.
