Charter Review Advisory Board · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City of Panama City is reviewing its charter regarding financial procedures and professional services. Specifically, the city is considering rules for how contracts for professional services, such as architects, attorneys, accountants, engineers, and surveyors, can be approved. These contracts may be entered into without competitive bidding, pending City Commission approval. The City Commission will review qualifications and work history before contracts are finalized. This review process is currently under consideration, indicating an early stage in the public process. The potential changes could affect how the city procures professional services, which may involve site planning, design, and legal review. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to stay informed about these charter discussions, as early awareness can provide an advantage in understanding future procurement opportunities.
