Holly Hill — The commission opened the meeting by announcing the recent death of Commissioner Roy Johnson and honoring him with a photo displayed in the chamber. Commissioners spoke about Johnson’s service and announced funeral arrangements: services are scheduled for Friday, April 10 at 1 p.m. at the Church of Christ in Holly Hill, followed by a procession to Bellevue Cemetery in Daytona Beach.
The commission swore in two new officers. The chief of police introduced backgrounds for Julio Liriano and Brian Gifford and administered the oath of office. During the oath the officer (or officers) recited: "I do solemnly swear ... I will support, protect, and defend the constitution and government of The United States and of the state of Florida ... and I will well and faithfully perform the duties of the officer, police officer of the city of Hollywood ... So help me God." (Text verbatim as delivered in the meeting record.)
Following the ceremonial remarks, the commission unanimously appointed Commissioner Snow to fill Johnson’s roles as the TPO representative and nominated Commissioner Curry to serve as vice mayor for the remainder of the term; both actions carried without opposition. Commissioners offered personal remembrances and said they would pursue a proclamation and flag request to honor Johnson’s service.
