In a pivotal moment for the City of Titusville, the City Council convened on July 19, 2025, to address key leadership changes that will shape the future of the community. Under the warm glow of city hall lights, council members engaged in discussions that would ultimately lead to the appointment of a new city manager and the ongoing search for a city attorney.

The meeting kicked off with a sense of urgency as Vice Mayor Cole made a motion to appoint Mister Amati as the new city manager. The council swiftly seconded the motion, and with a unanimous vote, Amati was welcomed into his new role. “Thank you all for your confidence in me,” he expressed, ready to take on the responsibilities that come with the position. His commitment to serving the community was palpable, as he pledged to give his utmost effort to meet the council's expectations.

However, the excitement of the new appointment was tempered by the challenges ahead, particularly in the search for a city attorney. The council learned that their first-choice candidate had opted for another opportunity, leaving them to consider their second-ranked candidate or potentially restart the search. The city manager highlighted the urgency of the situation, noting the importance of having legal representation in place.

As discussions unfolded, the council weighed their options carefully. They considered whether to authorize the Human Resources department to negotiate with the second-ranked candidate or to explore other avenues, including the possibility of appointing an interim city attorney. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as council members recognized the significance of these decisions for the governance of Titusville.

The meeting concluded with a sense of determination. With a new city manager at the helm and the search for legal counsel underway, the City Council of Titusville is poised to navigate the challenges ahead, ensuring that the needs of the community remain at the forefront of their efforts.
