Danielle Judd leaves city position
While Chiefland's search for a new city attorney appears to have picked up steam with two lawyers submitting bids for the job, the ranks of City Hall officials were further depleted last week when Planning and Finance Director Danielle Judd abruptly resigned.

City Hall staff said Oct. 8 that Judd, who only served a year at her post, had "verbally resigned" and has not yet submitted a formal resignation.

Judd, who was reached at her home Oct. 8, confirmed that she is no longer working for the city, but had no public comment on the matter. She often received compliments from commissioners during meetings for her active pursuit of grant funding and her commitment to community projects.

Meanwhile, advertisements for a new city attorney have finally, after almost two months, given the city commission some options.

City Hall staff reports that bids have been submitted by the Gainesville firm of Coffey and McPherson and by Tallahassee lawyer Tim Franklin. The proposals are to be submitted to the commission at its Oct. 22 meeting along with any others that may come before that time.
