Get ready, Leon County! There’s a big meeting coming up that you won’t want to miss. On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the Board of County Commissioners will gather at the County Commission Chambers, located at 301 S. Monroe Street. Doors open at 3:00 p.m. for the regular session, and if you want to stick around, public hearings will kick off at 6:00 p.m. Just think of it as your chance to get involved in local governance.
Now, here’s the scoop: if you have something to say—whether it’s about agenda items or other topics—you can speak up! There are two options for you to share your thoughts. You can either come down in person and voice your opinion during the meeting, or if you prefer a virtual setting, you can register to comment online (don’t forget, registration is required and closes at 8:00 p.m. the day before). If assistance is needed for registration, feel free to reach out to the County Administration at 850-606-5300.
How to Tune In
For those who can’t make it to the chambers, don’t fret! The meeting will be broadcast live on Comcast Channel 16, and you can also catch it on the Leon County Florida Channel on Roku, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, or simply visit the County’s website. It’s all about making sure you stay connected!
This isn’t just any meeting, folks. Each session is a chance for the community to come together. The upcoming meeting is a regular public gathering of the Board of County Commissioners, and it’s packed with opportunities for citizens to voice their opinions. Interestingly enough, the meeting scheduled for June 13, 2023, had its own share of exciting moments, including proclamations for June as Pride Month and recognizing local heroes—like Gayle Grisiff for securing an antique piano donation!
What’s on the Agenda?
As we look forward to the next meeting, there are a few interesting items on the agenda that you might want to keep an eye on. You can expect discussions on various topics, such as a proposed renaming of the Northeast Branch Library in honor of Bruce J. Host, and a funding request from the Tallahassee Housing Authority for the redevelopment of the Orange Avenue Apartments. Pretty important stuff if you ask me!
Moreover, there will be public hearings, like the adoption public hearing on the 2023 Cycle Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment for the Southside Action Plan, taking place at 6:00 p.m.. So, if you’re passionate about local development, this is your moment!
Lastly, don’t forget that there’s a little bit of housekeeping at the beginning. There will be an invocation by Pastor Rudy Ferguson Sr. and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Commissioner Bill Proctor. It’s a nice way to start things off, bringing the community together in a shared moment of reflection.
