Tallahassee City Commission

A new round of sniping has emerged between city and county commissioners over the fire fee, which the City increased last year against the wishes of county leaders.

Leon County Commission Chair Christian Caban says an independent review has found the City of Tallahassee’s Fire Services Fund has been mismanaged.

Welaunee is a huge development in progress on Tallahassee’s northeast side between Miccosukee and Centerville roads. Critics say taxpayers are on the hook for too much of it.

The Capitol City Tiger Bay Club hosted a debate Tuesday between Tallahassee City Commission candidates Tom Derzypolski and PJ Perez.

Dot Inman Johnson and Diane Williams Cox participated in a candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters and the Capital Region News Collaborative. To catch a replay of the forum, visit the WFSU Public Media YouTube page.

The endorsements have been focused on the Tallahassee Mayoral and Commission Seat 3 races

The next Tallahassee City Manager will assume her new role on October 1st. The hiring process and the contract are the topic of today’s Speaking Of.

Parks' endorsement gives Derzypolski a prominent supporter with political strength in parts of the city where Derzypolski was less successful during the primary.

The contract includes a clause specifying the manager can only be removed with a 2/3rds vote of the commission. That means four of the city’s five commission members would be needed to fire her.
