If the town is dissolved what would happen with street lights, water sewer for the residents. It is to our advantage to remain incorporated. The interim manager was probably somehow involved with CTA to keep Century viable and the council by council president Gomez actions toward the manager and also he committee's inability to even get a change on the charter to the ballot may have shown him the handwriting on the wall. I'm not so sure it would be to our advantage to change the charter and have let Gulf Breeze interests in anyway. CTA seems a bit shady, especially after the arrest of the principal but they seemed to have enough gumption to overcome that. No wonder they negotiated with Quincy. That's on the council and the CATF. Not sure what will happen if 2 more council members aren't appointed. We are too old, and taking care of elder parents and can't serve and if there arent enough younger more will able bodied people to step up the that is just the way it is. One of the new D2 candidates, Kohler is calling for consolidation with Pensacola which could double our property tax. I don't know why Century doesn't divest the gas department like the Grand Jury recommend, especially while for a minute in time it was viable. Anyway. A tab in the black is good news. Keep the water running in and out and garbage picked up. Look, no doubt there is incompetence and ignorance.

The second line in the article regarding the new roof, reads as follows: “Earlier this year, the Escambia County Commission approved a $311,710 contract with Centennial Roofing for the project”.
