The Canton City Council is meeting now at City Hall to discuss, among other things, a procedure for City Manager Scott Wood's evaluation.
The council in April placed Wood on six months probation "to evaluate his effectiveness" as city manager.
The council is also discussing a 5-year plan to meet the fire service needs of the city's residents.
For nearly two years, the city has tried to develop plans to build new fire stations. Council members have discussed consolidation with the county as well as the creation of the city's own fire district.
Both ideas have been met with opposition.
Council member Glen Cummins plans to ask his colleagues to repeal the latest idea, the fire district ordinance that Attorney General Sam Olens' office says would be considered a tax rather than a fee.

Scott Wood.....you are a joke. City Council Members, please, do not allow this to go on any longer than it already has. Mr. Wood is a liability to the City of Canton.
