City leader thinks four-year term is better than two

Chiefland City Commissioner J. Rollin Hudson Jr. thinks the elected term for the office should be four years rather than two years.

He said the instability of a regime change every couple of years is unsettling to city workers.

Mayor M. Teal Pomeroy said city workers should be working for the people, regardless of who serves as the city manager or on the City Commission.

Vice Mayor Teresa Barron agreed with Hudson about four years being a better term of office for Chiefland City Commissioner.

To accomplish this, the Chiefland City Charter would have to be amended.

Chiefland City Attorney Norm Fugate said the charter may be amended only by a vote of the people. To put the question on the ballot, Fugate said, the City Commission can adopt an ordinance or a certain percentage of the registered voters in Chiefland can sign a petition.
