Committee Nears Completion Of Governmental Rewrite For Century

March 29, 2022

The Century Charter Review Committee has almost completed a rewrite of the document that governs the town.

The committee is tasked with updating the charter — the document that legally establishes the town, outlines its powers and spells out how it should operate. The committee has met periodically since October 2019.

Now, the committee is the last stages of completing their work.

There is an almost final draft, and members will propose any minor changes by April 4 with a vote about two weeks later. If the committee approves their creation, the new charter would go to the Century Town Council for approval and placement on the ballot.

Consultant Buz Eddy said the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office reached out after reading a story about Century’s charter review efforts on NorthEscambia.com. He said in order to make the August ballot, work would need to be completed by June, or August for the November ballot.

    When will it be a requirement for the leaders of Century to live in Century. All city workers leaders everyone, if you believe Century can be a better place why don’t you live here?
