Other Questions on the Beach Ballot Language

How is "currently" defined? Is it as of November 3rd 2009, the day of the election? Or is it whenever anyone wants it to be? Is the "current" tenant mix forever protected, secured and maintained in its current mix and proportion of uses? Does this mean that if a T-Shirt shop goes out we need to find another T-Shirt shop to take its place? What happens if the city doesn't abide by its own Charter?

Another thought came to mind: How about having a similar ballot amendment for the shuffleboard court building? It's zoned Public Recreation and Open Space. Shouldn't we declare that the primary use for that property is public recreation?

Assignment: Define "public recreation."
