41st Coffee With A Commissioner Live Stream Today



We held our 41st Coffee with a Commissioner Event this morning.  You can watch the uploaded YouTube video of this event here.

You can watch the Facebook video here.

Our special guests this morning included County Administrator Janice Gilley, Escambia County School Board Member, District 1, Kevin Adams, and ECUA Board Member, District 1, Vicki Campbell.

The topics of discussion were centered around COVID-19 and the ramifications/implications the pandemic is causing to each entity.  Janice gave a nice update on our plans to open up vacation rentals (finally), Kevin Adams discussed education in Escambia County in this atmosphere and the challenges this is presenting, and Vicki Campbell discussed the tremendous surge in garbage collections the sheltering at home is creating.

In addition we discussed:

-The burn ban
-ECUA Transfer Station
-School Graduations
-What lunches and bus rides will look like next school year
-Superintendent Search update
-Innerarity Island Sewer issue
-financial ramifications for each local entity  from the state budget cuts that will invariably occur
....and many more topics
