[Watch] Groveland new City Attorney's first substantive legal posture

The announcement of Anita Geraci-Carver's successor — the
[groveland-new-city-attorney](/watch/groveland-new-city-attorney)
watch — closes one loop. The first substantive appearance
of the successor on the dais opens the next. Groveland is
the most SB-180-exposed city in the corpus, mid-EAR-
amendment cycle, with three interim department heads
(City Manager, Community & Economic Development Director,
Senior Planner support) operating alongside, and Brandan
Dixion newly seated on the P&Z Board. The successor's first
vote, legal opinion, or ordinance-drafting moment is the
calibration point on whether Geraci-Carver's "All bills
failed. Bill 180 expires June 2026" framing carries forward,
or whether a different regulatory posture reshapes the
city's defensive architecture during the CDC V5 adoption
window. This watch isolates the institutional-knowledge-
transfer signal — was the successor onboarded into
Geraci-Carver's regulatory framing, or is the framing
being reset entering the post-SB-180-sunset window. The
cardinal continuity-of-framing test for the most exposed
city in the corpus.
