What statute is that? Really clerk seemed to have done a very poor job. The other day the person answering the phone acted like it was really hard to actually have to lift a finger and answer a phone. Council get it together and quit blocking hires, you aren't doing us any favors. And really why is the Financial Report that was due after the fiscal year LAST year not on the Fl Auditor general site which by law t was due nine months after the fiscal year 2020 and this fiscal year ended 9/30/21 so it's staring a new cycle. ??? Here a hint, go to the internet and type in words like "municipality" "Florida Auditor General" Check the tabs, the rules, the reports. Type in "Joint Legislative Auditing Committee" Look at the meeting packets. Council and employees, accountant, management about how every year you turn in a report and how things are done with the books. The state awarded us some funds as well as the county.Ensure it is spent properly, not only to residents but to the ones who entrusted you with governance. Even I know the auditor general sent a letter in July telling you the report wasn't done.Who else did and didn't tell anybody? Or better yet. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE REMINDED. You can get a free calendar at the hardware store..Every year in the summer the report is due. Like clockwork. You start on it when the leaves on the sycamore turn yella, Or guess what, the government body or employees can be called to appear before the committee and a person can be cited for issued related to failure to do their job. Look it up management and council. Is that why suddenly "everybody needs to resign and spend more time with their families"? You know we want to be supportive but C'mon man By law and Transparency Florida, they are supposed to post the salaries on the web site plus the budget and agenda. What statute is that?

I can tell you that the pay is definitely lacking, I was wanting to apply for a position with the Water Utility side, I have been a Supervisor for a Water Utility for 18 years, but upon learning that the pay was less than 10.00 an hour I was not interested. I know that Century can be so much more than it is, but we need open minded, enthusiastic people to be on board. I have only lived in the area a year and a half, so love this town, but I have heard and seen people so negative when talking about Century, how do we overcome. I would have loved to work in this town rather than driving into Pensacola every day, but lack of jobs (unless you know the right people) and low pay are sure a deterrent. I am hoping that we get some good energetic, forward thinking people to fill these positions. It seems everyone is leaving their positions in Century.

But who sticks around long for 10/hour? Pay better and you can retain staff. Probably more competent than most of the board. But who sticks around long for 10/hour?
