Century Meeting Canceled Due To No Shows; Public Notice Questioned
August 11, 2018
An citizen’s advisory committee meeting in Century Friday morning was canceled after four of five members were no-shows. Public notice for the meeting was also questioned.
The Town of Century’s Community Development Block Grant Citizen’s Advisory Task Force (CATF) meeting was scheduled for 11 a.m. and was canceled by 11:15 a.m. with only one member in attendance. No members of the public were present, other than a NorthEscambia.com reporter.
The meeting had been scheduled to discuss the town’s Community Development Block Grant housing rehabilitation program.
A public notice for the meeting was published on NorthEscambia.com and in the Tri-City Ledger and letters were mailed to task force members.
No public notice was posted at town hall, as recommended in the 2018 edition of the Government in the Sunshine Manual published by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
“While the attorney general’s office cannot specify the type of notice which must be given in all cases, the following notice guidelines are suggested….The notice should be prominently displayed in the area in the agency’s offices set aside for that purpose, e.g., for cities, in city hall, and on the agency’s website, if there is one,” the Sunshine Manual states.

Were talking about Century here
I would just stay home too
Lack of enthusiasm? No hope of actual development? Scheduling conflict? Maybe some people actually have real jobs and had to be at work at 11:00 am on a Friday?
Possibly the change in town clerk is part of the meeting advertisement problem.
Learning process.
thank you William., that is what I was going to say but you beat me to the punch.
>>>Elected officials and only one shows up
It’s an appointed volunteer board, not elected.
Still waiting on my auto loan….
Century just seems to have lost all ability and control to get its “STUFF” together.
Missed communications appear to be a Real Problem for the “town”.
SAD……Always make themselves look worse for the wear.
Running scared.
Self defense:
Don’t show up at improperly advertised meetings unless you just enjoy paying fines
These are truly a bunch of clowns. Elected officials and only one shows up? So I assume they are not gonna accept there pay for the week maybe donate it to the town
