The elected official who spearheaded the temporary pause on hiring non-essential workers and making policy changes said he did so to bring stability to City Hall.

The Palatka City Commission did Thursday what some may have seen coming.

Amid continued frustrations and conflicting information, Palatka leaders on Thursday fired the company hired to help find a new city manager.

The city manager search is back up for discussion today, resuming two weeks after tense talk about the quality of work a consulting firm has contributed in the candidate search.

If someone pays $30 for a sweater from Amazon, they would be within their rights to be upset if their item doesn’t arrive at their home in the time the website said it would get there.

Palatka’s elected officials were left livid at how the consultant group they hired to find a new city manager is conducting the search.

Palatka’s interim city manager cited a desire to lead local residents and challenge himself among the reasons he has applied for the full-time city manager position.
