Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory.

Weekly Recap Fridays

We will be doing interactive, online Friday afternoon Recaps at 5:00 going forward, to give a run-down of the previous week's happenings as it pertains to Escambia County and District 1

I will be going live on Facebook at my commissioner's Facebook page weekly on Fridays at 5:00PM.

It will be a brief, interactive chat describing all the issues of importance that happened with the board of county commissioners the previous week.  With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, and with normal, in-person channels of communication not currently feasible--I believe an interactive, online post weekly is a workable substitute until we as a country get back to normal.

Got a question, a comment, or a burning issue?  Call me at 850-293-1459 and I will try to get an answer for you and read it on the Recap.  Or tune in and ask any question live.

Yesterday's recap, which you can watch on Facebook here-was a discussion about our previous week's coffee with the commissioner where we discussed re-starting youth sports this month at county ball parks.  We also discussed short term vacation rentals and getting our economy back open.  Janice Gilley discussed the growing need for a burn ban until we get through these dry conditions.  We also got a local COVID-19 update.

We also discussed upcoming events including next week's 41st Coffee with a Commissioner where we will have a District 1 Elected Official Round table conversation with District 1 School Board Member Kevin Adams, District 1 ECUA Board Member Vicki Campbell, and myself, D1 Commissioner Jeff Bergosh.

Join me Friday afternoons for the Recap.

Sounds great. At the next BCC meeting are you going to question the PIMP? Perdido Inlet Management Plan PO request? You should.

Ask why after the FEMA berms were put down post Ivan why you didn't restore the critically eroded beach at Perdido.
