On Thursday, May 19, 2005 County Commission Chairman Cliff Thaell and Tallahassee Mayor John Marks signed a historic agreement between Leon County and the City of Tallahassee that will guide the local governments' roles and responsibilities for the next 15 years. The agreement addresses the provision of parks and recreation services, fire services, and water and sewer services. This agreement is another example of the two governments’ willingness to work together on important issues that impact our community.

Thaell and City Commissioner Allan Katz negotiated the agreement on behalf of their commissions. The two commissioners were tapped by their peers to hammer out the details that resolve several complex issues between the City and County. Katz attended the signing ceremony and provided remarks. 

The Board of County Commissioners and the Tallahassee City Commission both unanimously approved the agreement at their respective meetings earlier in May.
