Tallahassee City Commission

The Tallahassee City Commission gave final approval to transfer Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare's assets to Florida State University Wednesday.

The vote sets in motion the process of rebranding TMH as FSU Health. The agreement includes an FSU investment of $1.7 billion.

It comes after Mayor John Dailey adjourned the commission’s last meeting early as protestors held up signs and criticized commissioners for their stance on the city’s agreement with immigration enforcement.

Army veteran and community advocate Tifany Hill is running for Tallahassee City Commission Seat 5.

In an email to university employees, FSU President Richard McCullough said FSU will pay Tallahassee $109 million over 30 years for the hospital’s property and assets.

The role is largely ceremonial and designates who runs commission meetings when the Mayor isn’t available. Traditionally the job has alternated among all members of the commission.

The ACLU of Florida and the Southern Poverty Law Center are suing the City of Tallahassee, calling the fire services fee an unconstitutional tax.

The mayor's hour-long remarks came during the NEBA meeting of Oct. 28.

Tallahassee Commissioners voted 3-2 Wednesday against ending the city’s 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

They voted 3-2 to go to a final hearing about the sale once negotiations with several other entities are finalized. Florida A&M and Tallahassee State College are currently negotiating with FSU for a role in the partnership.
