Eatonville's government, on the record.
The Town Council and the Community Redevelopment Agency of Eatonville, Florida, meet in public and spend public money — but most residents never see how the decisions get made. Cheatonville documents what happens in those meetings, so you don't have to sit through every hour or dig through every packet.
We're not here to make accusations. Every item on this site is tied to a primary source — a resolution, a meeting minute, a contract, a recording. When officials follow the rules, that's on the record too. When a decision runs against the Town's own policies, we put the policy and the decision side by side and let you see for yourself.
Established by a primary source you can check: a resolution, a meeting minute, a contract, a recording. We can point you to exactly where it's on the record.
What the Town's own rules, its Charter, the bylaws, or Florida statute actually say — quoted directly and cited, set beside what happened.
Not yet established. A question we can't answer until a specific public record comes back. We name the record and show its status rather than guess.

November 3, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Agenda Breakdown
Election night, and not at Town Hall. Both meetings are at the Denton Johnson Center again. The 6:30 workshop reviews the agreement for the 2027 ZORA! Festival, with handwritten edits that a note attributes to the festival's organizer, and hears reports from department heads. At 7:30 the Council tries again for a final vote on farmers markets in the C-3 commercial district, after the October 20 hearing was tabled.
October 15, 2026 CRA Board Meeting — Recap
Directors pulled the amended bylaws off the consent agenda. Several said they oppose the new sentence requiring five of seven votes to fire the Executive Director. No vote was taken: the Board set a special workshop for October 28 at 6:30 PM on the bylaws, the Executive Director's evaluation and the Board's priorities. The sales package for the six CRA-built homes was also pulled and discussed. Directors agreed to finish the two homes underway and to consider rebidding the other four. No vote was taken on that either.
October 20, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Agenda Breakdown
A short agenda, in a different building. Both meetings move to the Denton Johnson Center while early voting runs at Town Hall. The 6:30 workshop has one discussion item, "Legal and Administrative Planning," with nothing attached. At 7:30 the Council takes its final vote on allowing farmers markets in the C-3 commercial district, and picks one of four applicants to recommend for the Town's historic marker task force.
October 15, 2026 CRA Board Meeting — Agenda Breakdown
The amended bylaws return on the consent agenda with a sentence no earlier posted draft had: firing the CRA's Executive Director would take "five or more votes" of the seven-member Board. On September 17, a motion to fire him failed 3–4. The packet credits the changes to the CRA's lawyer and the Board, but the public record does not show who proposed this sentence or when it was written. Requests directors made on the record in August and September are not in the text.
October 6, 2026 Town Council Meeting — Recap
The fee waiver for the CRA's four homes never came up for a vote. It was removed from the agenda at the start of the meeting, and the Town's new counsel later said she is setting up a meeting with the CRA's attorney about it. The Council unanimously ordered staff and counsel to report within 14 business days on how water and sewer bills have been calculated, after the sponsor declined to extend the deadline. Farmers markets in the C-3 commercial district passed their first reading, also unanimously. The second reading is October 20, which the Deputy Town Clerk said will be held at the Denton Johnson Center.
