Chiefland When asked about the charges Williams referred to, commissioner Teal Pomeroy said that he had once sold alcohol to a 20-year old, and that he had been twice charged with battery by a girlfriend in a relationship gone bad. Pomeroy owned and managed a bar prior to serving as a commissioner. | Records at the Levy County Clerk’s Office revealed that Pomeroy has had five charges against him. He was charged in 1999 with a_ boating infraction—for failure to use a diving flag. Adjudication was withheld and Pomeroy paid a $25 citation fee. He was also charged that year with selling liquor to someone under the age of 21. The state dropped those charges that December. In 2000, he was charged with a health and safety infraction. Although the records did not indicate the precise infraction, a clerk’s office representative said that this was likely a code violation such as failure to remove debris from property. He pled guilty and paid a $55 fine. In 2002, he was © twice charged with battery. One charge was dropped due to. insufficient evidence and the other was dropped for “lacking prosecutorial merit.” Williams concluded, “Several ofthe commissioners representing us should resign and get their lives in order.- _ Ona final note, the “N” word that I’m identified by doesn’t bother me...I’m an outsider even with some members within the black community because I don’t play games or jump on bandwagons.” Although Williams is director of the Levy County | Authority and of the Greater Chiefland Chamber of Commerce, he said that he was not speaking on behalf of either of the two organizations, but rather as a _ Housing president business owner and manager in Chiefland. Pomeroy maintained that . _ Williams was speaking with a political agenda in mind. “He hired a private investigator to look into my background during the elections last August. He was running two campaigns (for candidates for city commissioners) at the time—for Debra Houska and Sharon Livingston. He has an extensive political agenda.” Houska was employed in the housing office with Williams at the time of the election. Williams was listed as Livingston’s campaign treasurer during the run up to the elections held last August. Pomeroy went on to say that while Williams had complained about the manner in which city manager candidates were selected, at no time had Williams called him to express his opinion. “My number’s listed in the phone book. He could have called with his advice.” When she was called for comment after the meeting, commissioner Teresa Barron said she felt that Williams was “a little over the top. I felt like I was being coerced—if I didn’t vote his way, even my children would be threatened. ..Citizens need to stand up. There is {@ Plan Continued from front working with an assistant superintendent to the school board, Jeff Davis, who was formerly a defacto member of the city’s planning board. The proposed development could add an additional 410 students to the city’s schools. Commissioners voted Monday to resubmit the request to DCA for approval. The motion was made by Teal Pomeroy, seconded by Teresa Barron and unanimously passed by all. LEVY COUNTY JOURNAL THURSDAY, DECEMEBR 14, 2006 Continued from front no civility ‘here.
