CITY COMMISSION MET - 30 JUNE 2026

 

POLICE DEPARTMENT,
COMMISSIONERS ENGAGE
2026 June 30



On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 5 pm in City Hall, the Cedar Key City Commission conducted a workshop. The goal of the workshop was to understand how the City and the Cedar Key Police Department might work more closely together. An audience of approximately twenty persons attended the workshop. All four sitting commissioners were in attendance: Mayor Jim Worttham, Vice Mayor Mel Beckham, Nancy Sera, and Dell Weible. One seat was empty due to the recent resignation of Jolie Davis.

Commissioner Mel Beckham chaired the meeting and articulated the basics: that this gathering was not a complaint session, “no sides” would be drawn, and no decisions would be made.

Immediately clarified by resident Eric Freeman, and agreed upon by commissioners, was the fact that police must respond to state and federal laws governing them and that police are not simply employees of Cedar Key.

CITY MTG - 16JUN 2026

 

 

 

CITY COMMSSION ADDRESSES
EMPTY SEAT, RVS, MOMENT OF SILENCE
2026 June 16

Eitor’s Note:
Regarding the article below, the Cedar Key News staff wrongly reported the second paragraph under “Public Comment, Prayer”. The article is now printed correctly. The staff regrets any incovience.

The Cedar Key City Commission met on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 5 pm at City Hall.  Commissioners present included Mayor Jim Wortham, Vice-Mayor Mel Beckham, Nancy Sera, and Dell Weible.  Absent was the prior commissioner Jolie Dais who resigned on June 8, 2026.

PUBLIC COMMENT
PRAYER
Resident Vanessa Edmons asked who took the “prayer” item off one of the agenda’s several iterations.   The evening’s publically distributed “Updated Agenda” clearly included “Invocation”; that invocation was delivered in prayer form by Commissioner Beckham.    
Though Commissioner Beckham conducted a prayer minutes earlier and Mayor Wortham explained that it was an in-house error, the issue of the person who removed the prayer from another, non-relevant agenda remained.
Commissioner Sera said that she had done so.   Beckham questioned Sera lengthily.  Discussion ensued as to whether a prayer or a moment of silence was appropriate.  One commissioner suggested that they vote on that issue at that very moment.  The vote was three to one: three in favor of a moment of silence; one in favor of prayer.
