Following public outrage, Santa Rosa County commissioners will not limit people s ability to speak on agenda items during county meetings and will not cap meeting lengths at five hours.
Board Chairman Dave Piech also said he would try to do better about keeping residents comments at no more than four minutes during public forum and about keeping all speakers on track and on topic when they come up to speak on an item.
The vote came early Tuesday afternoon at the County Commission meeting, the first meeting after the board attempted last week to set new rules in an attempt to curb derailed meetings and make them more efficient.

All individuals including patients for ancillary tests such as labs, X-rays or imaging, pulmonary function tests, electrocardiograms or outpatient surgery will need to enter through the emergency room entrance, according to a news release from the hospital issued Tuesday.

Ascension Medical Group Sacred Heart is making changes to its COVID-19 testing program. The health care system will expand testing and add 60 new COVID-19 rapid testing machines at its offices across Northwest Florida during the coming weeks
Ascension Sacred Heart administered 647 COVID-19 tests last week at its three urgent care locations, compared to the 288 COVID-19 tests two weeks ago.
The rapid test can provide results within 15 minutes, however the patient must see a health care provider before ordering the test as it is not a drive-thru test as it was at the peak of the pandemic last summer.
