The Century Town Council Has Canceled Their Next Meeting. Here’s Why.
March 12, 2020
The Town of Century has canceled the next regular meeting of the town council.
The meeting was scheduled for Monday, March 16 – the day before the Presidential Preference Primary. The Supervisor of Elections Office will move voting equipment into the room on Monday.
“The voting equipment will be in the council chambers Monday and they must be secured,” Mayor Henry Hawkins said.
“We indicated the equipment needed to be secured, even if in an adjoining office,” Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford said.
The canceled council meeting has not been rescheduled. The council generally meets on the first and third Mondays of each month.

@ CENTURY RESIDENT / I’VE LIVED IN PENSACOLA FOR 70 YEAR’S NOW AND ALL THE PEOPLE I KNEW FROM CENTURY WERE GOOD HONEST WORKING PEOPLE BUT WITH ALL THESE CLOWN’S RUNNING THE SHOW NOW I HATE IT FOR YOU / AFTER ALL HAVING BACK TO BACK MEETING’S IS NOT GOING TO HURT ANYTHING THAT BUNCH JUST CAN’T MAKE A DECISION UNLESS IT’S GOING TO COST MONEY THEY DON’T HAVE
Just another way for the town to operate with no oversight or control. Let’s see…the mayor is out a lot due to health issues (God Bless You Sir, hope you are better soon!). The town clerk is out on personal/health leave. The council president is an accountant and presumably up to her ears busy in tax forms.
So that leaves Vern Prether that wormed his way in as city manager with free reign. No…let’s don’t just put the voting equipment in another room or move the council meeting to a community center…let’s cancel it. No oversight over his action for a few more weeks that way.
Century is sinking fast.
I’m sure many important decisions would have been made. What a shame it was cancelled.
