Fort Meade operates its own utilities as a member of the Florida Municipal Power Agency. The city has long struggled with sometimes faulty service, while residents complain about high power bills.

Alis Drumgo begins Monday as Fort Meade's interim city manager and will receive payments of $10,500 a month, or $52,500 over the five-month period.

Fort Meade city commissioners voted 3-2 to dismiss a resolution calling for an investigation into former Interim City Manager Dustin Burke.
