FSU-TMH MOU: Hold First Public Hearing and Schedule Second Hearing for Oct. 22, 2025

The Commission voted 3-2 to hold the first public hearing on a proposed Memorandum of Understanding between Florida State University and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, and to schedule a follow-up public hearing on October 22, 2025. The motion also authorized the City Manager to negotiate terms under which FSU would make a payment to the City in exchange for the transfer of TMH assets. This vote superseded an earlier motion by Commissioner Matlow to obtain two independent appraisals of TMH assets before proceeding. The outcome advances the process of potentially transferring the city-owned hospital's assets to FSU, a significant decision affecting local healthcare access.
