Formal demand served on Pensacola City Attorney Adam Cobb targeting the City’s decades-long municipal support for the Fiesta of Five Flags / Fiesta Pensacola — one of the oldest heritage festivals in Florida. The demand identifies three independent statutory triggers under § 166.04971: official action (the Mayor’s annual “Surrender of the City” ceremony), public funding (Downtown Pensacola Improvement Board payments, City service costs), and municipal promotion (Visit Pensacola). Demands a written compliance review, corrective action guidance, and production of public records within 30 days.
