TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Tallahassee City Commission has named their nine finalists for the City Commission Seat 1 vacancy.
As part of the official process to fill the Tallahassee City Commission Seat 1 vacancy, City Commissioners have completed their individual reviews of applications from citizens looking to fill the seat.
Of the 93 applications submitted, nine citizens are on the final list for the full commission to consider at its special meeting on Monday, Dec. 31, at 4:00 p.m. in the City Commission Chambers.
The nine individuals the commission will consider include:
- Elaine Bryant
- Gallop Franklin II
- Tabitha Frazier
- Saralyn Grass
- Byron Greene
- Lila Jaber
- Howard Kessler
- Will Messer
- Bruce Strouble
The selected candidate from the appointment process will serve either through the remainder of the seat's term (Nov. 16, 2020) or until the existing commissioner is able to return to service, whichever occurs first.
The meeting is open to the public.
Seat 1, Maddox's seat, was vacated after news broke that Maddox had been indicted on 44 federal racketeering charges. He was suspended by Gov. Rick Scott.
