ESCAMBIA COUNTY COMMISSION CHANGES

The Escambia County Commission will change their meeting schedule and public forum. The goal is to allow county staff more time to devote to their regular job duties rather than spending hours in meetings. The changes include the elimination of one agenda review session, moving one regular meeting a month to the morning to accommodate residents who are unable to attend night meetings, but one meeting a month will still be held in the evening. During the public forum, citizens will have three minutes to address the board, with additional time for questions and input for commissioners. Minutes can no longer be donated to another person to extend their time.
