MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) - The City of Midway is interviewing candidates to fill a vacant city council seat.
The vacancy is left by former city councilman Charlie Smith, who died in February. They'll be interviewing six people Monday night to potentially fill that District 1 seat.
One of those candidates is former city manager Auburn Ford.
Ford has a messy history with Midway. Over the last few years, he's been hired, fired, re-hired, sentenced to jail time, resigned, hired again, and then fired again.
On top of the drama, Ford has been involved in legal proceedings against the city.
WTXL ABC 27 has reached out to both Ford and current city officials to get a statement ahead of Monday night's meeting. We have not yet heard back.
That meeting starts at city hall at 6 p.m.
