Residents press Apopka commission for transparency, staffing fixes and a forensic audit

During public comment and in responses to agenda items, several residents urged the commission to order a forensic audit and to address persistent staff vacancies and alleged mismanagement of CRA funds. One speaker said he had filed a records request nearly two years earlier and pressed the commission to account for vacant positions and repeated operational problems; another said the city must be honest about staffing and financial condition for the safety and future of local children.
