The Tallahassee City Commission will meet the day after Election Day — but depending on the results, one Commission member could be living out his last days in office.
Commissioner Curtis Richardson is up for re-election against challenger Dot Inman-Johnson, and city voters will get to choose between the two for City Commission Seat 2, a race that could swing the commission’s voting majority.
If Inman-Johnson wins, she will officially take office at the town’s reorganization meeting, which is scheduled for Nov. 18. Her victory would likely direct the current voting majority of Richardson, Mayor John Daley and Commissioner Dianne Williams-Cox to Commissioners Jack Porter and Jeremy Matlow.
At the upcoming Nov. 6 meeting, city commissioners will discuss issues related to the airport portal and grants going to the Tallahassee Police Department.
Here’s what the commissioners will discuss at their meeting
- More construction for the airport portal
- In accordance with the Tallahassee Land Development Code, the commission will consider a request to build a road from the Intergovernmental Blueprint Agency.
- Grants to the Tallahassee Police Department
- TPD is seeking approval for more than $400,000 in grants from the Florida Department of Transportation, as well as a Justice Assistance Grant and money from the Florida Department of Emergency Management.
- Public hearing on firefighter pensions
