Planning Board - Mar 9, 2026
Two commercially zoned parcels will be pulled into Panama City, giving them access to city water and utilities and extending city limits along the Highway 390 corridor.
Charter Review Advisory Board - Mar 5, 2026
A lively debate over whether the charter should guarantee that people outside city limits can get city water, sewer, and garbage without being forced to annex. Currently outsiders pay a 25% surcharge instead of city property taxes. Some members want that anchored in the charter so it can't change with whoever is city manager; others want to leave flexibility to staff and the commission. Decision deferred to March 26.
