Franklin County Commission meets Tuesday in Apalachicola

Franklin county commissioners will once again discuss the hiring of a county attorney when it meets again on Tuesday.

The issue started in December as a way for the commission to see if it could save money on its legal bills, but over the past weeks has deteriorated into claims of threats to commissioners and arguments over how meetings should be run.

The board has tabled the issue for the past two meetings after discussion became heated.

On Tuesday, the board will try again to decide whether to keep the current attorney or choose from the 4 others who have put in bids.

The commission on Tuesday will also open bids for electronic health records at Weems Memorial Hospital in Apalachicola and open qualifications from people interested in serving as economic planner for the county.

The full agenda is posted on the oyster radio news page.

If you plan to attend the meeting it will begin at 9 AM at the Franklin County courthouse Annex in Apalachicola.
