Ready To Get Started: Century Charter Review Committee Meets
November 13, 2019
The Century Charter Review Committee met Tuesday evening with no real discussion taking place about specific elements of the charter.
Chairperson Mary Hudson Bourgeois told Interim City Manager Buz Eddy that the committee needs agendas prepared in advance. Brief mention was made that attorney Gerald McKenzie has volunteered to offer free advice to the committee. Member Evelyn Hammond said she would like to see better attendance by committee members; only six of 10 members have attended the last two meetings.
The committee heard a presentation on meeting procedures and Robert’s Rules of Order. They also reviewed paper copies of a Powerpoint presentation presented to the town council last May by Lynn Tipton with the Florida League of Cities that explained charters.
But during the hour-long meeting, the committee held no specific discussion of Century’s charter.
“I’m tired of dragging it out,” vice-chair Shelisa Abraham said. “I just want to get started.”

Regarding that “Century Town Charter”; may I suggest a hammer and a stake; or a match.
“reviewed paper copies of a Powerpoint presentation” from last May. Pretty cutting edge there. What a waste of time and effort. Typifies Century perfectly.
Maybe I can help. Open Charter to page 1. Read it. Any changes? Ok. Turn to page two…..
Complete waste of time.
Lady with the folded arms is sending bad body language….folded arms indicate you’re not open to discussion and already have your own opinions. If that’s the case, meeting adjourned.
Sooo, She wants Buzzsaw to write the agenda and tell them what to discuss? Sounds like this committee is already dying a slow death just like the town.
Perhaps they’re not pictured, or perhaps they actually werent in attendance, but it’s good to see Hawkins and other council members aren’t present keeping an eye over and a thumb on the committee meetings.
