THE AGENDA:

Commission has first consented to the presentation for consideration and action.
Consent Agenda Items: These are items which the Commission does not need to discuss individually
and which are voted on as a group.
Regular Agenda Items: These are items which the Commission will discuss individually in the order
listed on the agenda.
Voice Vote: A voice vote by the Commission indicates approval of the agenda item. This can be by
either a regular voice vote with "Ayes & Nays" or by a roll call vote.

The public is encouraged to offer comment to the Commission at their meetings during Public Hearings, Public

Subject: Vote change
To the Acting City Clerk:
I was on the prevailing side of the vote which allowed Comm. Merker to continue to represent the
City in Tallahassee. The vote was taken last night at the Special City Commission Meeting. I am
changing my vote so he will not represent the City in Tallahassee during the Legislative session.
Sincerely,
