Commissioner Carnahan to Hold Fire Services Town Hall discussions

Citrus County is currently conducting a nationwide search for a new Fire Chief.

We would like to thank Jim Goodworth for his service and we recognize that choosing the

next Chief is an important decision and the next step in building fire services in our com-

munity.

Commissioner and Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners Scott Carna-

han, who also served as Chairman of the Fire Service Committee, will be holding a series of

Town Hall meetings to discuss fire services and receive your input regarding the provision

of those services, discuss options and alternatives for service and funding. The schedule for

these meetings is as follows:

Thursday, August 3 - Floral City Library, 8360 E. Orange Ave., Floral City, FL
