Lack of strong mayor hurts CMP negotiations

   February 26, 2009

The representatives of Scott Davidson have sent out emails stating that Davidson and his company have answered all the information requests of the City and its consultants.

The problem is not entirely a paper issue. It’s the final terms of the master developer contract for the Community Maritime Park and who represents the City as the main negotiator.

Davidson has negotiated with Owen Beitsch and CMPA and with Barry Abramson and City Manager Al Coby. And while the CMPA and the Pensacola City Council both must approve the final agreement, who tells Davidson what are the final terms the City/CMPA will accept?

A strong mayor – who is elected by the people – could do that.
