Eatonville's government, on the record.
The Town Council and the Community Redevelopment Agency meet in public and spend public money — but most residents never see how the decisions get made. Cheatonville documents what happens in those meetings, so you don't have to sit through every hour or dig through every packet.
We're not here to make accusations. Every item on this site is tied to a primary source — a resolution, a meeting minute, a contract, a recording. When officials follow the rules, that's on the record too. When a decision runs against the Town's own policies, we put the policy and the decision side by side and let you see for yourself.
Established by a primary source you can check: a resolution, a meeting minute, a contract, a recording. We can point you to exactly where it's on the record.
What the Town's own rules, its Charter, the bylaws, or Florida statute actually say — quoted directly and cited, set beside what happened.
Not yet established. A question we can't answer until a specific public record comes back. We name the record and show its status rather than guess.
