D. City Clerk and Fiscal Oversight

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

The Charter Review Advisory Board of the City of Panama City is reviewing a proposal to change the city's charter. Currently, the City Clerk and Collector handles records, clerk duties, and financial oversight. The Board recommends separating these roles. Administrative and records duties would move to the City Manager's office. A new, independent Comptroller position would be created to report directly to the Commission for financial oversight. This change is currently under review. The proposed changes would involve restructuring city government functions, which could lead to new administrative and professional service needs. This early stage means businesses in related fields can engage before final plans are set. Opportunities may arise for legal services, consulting, and administrative support as the city adapts its charter.
