The Charter Review Commission voted to retain attorney Glenn Taylor as counsel after a short introduction from Taylor and brief questions from commissioners.

Taylor introduced himself to the commission: "My name is Glenn Taylor and, I've lived in Clay County since the seventies," and described his background as an Orange Park councilman, work for the Florida attorney general's office, prior service as general counsel to the Charter Review Commission in 2021, and a local real-estate practice.

Courtney Connor, CRC staff, told the commission that the other candidates the committee had discussed—John David Horne and Lasekiya Hodges—had declined consideration; Connor announced that Mr. Horne had declined and a packet contained a resume for Glenn Taylor only. Commissioners asked whether Taylor's service on the Orange Park council presented a conflict. The commission reported that Orange Park counsel had reviewed the matter and had determined there was no conflict; commissioners said they would address any future amendment that might specifically affect Orange Park at that time.

A motion to accept Taylor as counsel was made and seconded; the chair called for the voice vote and the motion carried by acclamation.

Ending

Taylor will serve as counsel to the Charter Review Commission through its proceedings. The commission did not specify contract terms during the meeting; staff indicated the contract and budget for counsel will follow existing procedures and that further administrative details would be handled outside the CRC sessions.
