4. WORKSHOP ITEM
Before beginning the interviews, Major Jones addressed the council and asked whether members
of the public participating via Zoom should be permitted to ask questions during the workshop. By
consensus, the council agreed that public participation would occur during the 5:01 p.m. special
meeting, not during the workshop portion, which was reserved for council deliberation and
candidate interviews.
A. Conduct Individual City Attorney Interviews
i. Manny Annon Jr.
Mr. Manny Annon Jr. appeared before the council and delivered an opening
statement outlining his qualifications and professional background. He summarized
his legal career, which has been largely focused on public-sector law. Mr. Annon
noted that he began clerking during law school and later worked as a litigator for
the City of Miami. He went on to represent government employees in labor and
employment matters across multiple jurisdictions, including cities, school boards,
and counties.

City Attorney Interviews and Selection
January 7, 2026
Page 2
Mr. Annon highlighted his prior service as a Senior City Attorney for Port St. Lucie,
where he handled a broad range of municipal matters, including labor and
employment issues and code enforcement board proceedings. He also emphasized
his previous tenure as City Attorney for the City of Sebastian, where he served for
over three years, followed by service with the City of Melbourne.
In addition to his civilian legal experience, Mr. Annon discussed his 22-plus-year
military career, including three overseas deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and
Qatar. He retired in 2021 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and served as a
Command Judge Advocate advising senior leadership.
Mr. Annon stressed his familiarity with the City of Sebastian’s operations,
departments, boards, and charter officers, stating this would allow him to "hit the
ground running" if selected. He discussed experience advising on public records
law (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes), the Sunshine Law (Chapter 286), elections law,
charter review processes, and code enforcement matters. He also referenced his
participation with the Florida League of Cities and explained how that involvement
provides early insight into legislative changes affecting municipalities.
Council members asked questions and offered comments regarding Mr. Annon’s
prior performance, communication style, and lessons learned from his time in
Melbourne. Mr. Annon stated that he would emphasize more proactive
communication with the City Manager and department heads, including regular
meetings, if appointed. He confirmed his willingness to attend board and committee
meetings as needed and to provide ongoing legal education to staff and board
members.
When asked about longevity, Mr. Annon stated he was committed to serving the
city for a minimum of five years. He also addressed his approach to retaining
outside counsel, explaining that such decisions would be brought before council for
approval and typically limited to conflicts of interest or highly specialized matters,
with appropriate cost controls.
ii. John J. Anastasio
1:50 pm
Mr. John J. Anastasio then appeared before the council and provided a brief opening
statement. He explained that he reapplied for the position due to his interest in the
City of Sebastian and his belief that he would be a good professional fit for the
governing body. Mr. Anastasio emphasized the importance of compatibility
between the City Attorney and council.
Mr. Anastasio discussed his extensive legal career, spanning more than four
decades, and described himself as a generalist with experience across numerous
areas of law. He noted prior experience advising multiple municipalities earlier in
his career and emphasized stability, stating he was not seeking short-term
employment and had no defined end date for service.

Page 3
Council members questioned Mr. Anastasio regarding his approach to managing
outside counsel. Mr. Anastasio replied that he would establish litigation budgets,
closely monitor billing, and require adherence to defined guidelines. He further
outlined his intention to provide structured legal training to boards, committees,
and staff, including Sunshine Law, public records compliance, and quasi-judicial
procedures, with both initial and periodic refresher sessions.
Mr. Anastasio also addressed how he would manage competing legal demands from
various City departments, explaining that prioritization would occur in coordination
with the City Manager and Council. He stated that he would communicate directly,
impartially, and professionally when identifying legal concerns that require
attention.
Council members asked Mr. Anastasio to clarify who he views as his client if
appointed. He responded that his client would be the people of the City of
Sebastian, as represented by the elected City Council, and that his role would be to
advise Council, the City Manager, and department heads accordingly.
5. Mayor Jones adjourned the City Council Workshop at 1:59 p.m.
6. Mayor Jones reconvened the Special City Council Meeting to order at 5:01 p.m.

8. Discuss and Select New City Attorney
Mayor Jones reconvened in special session for deliberation regarding the City Attorney
appointment. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, Council discussed the interviews and
potential next steps.
Council members expressed appreciation for both candidates and acknowledged that each
brought valuable experience and qualifications. However, several members voiced
concerns about long-term fit, financial constraints, and whether the current candidate pool
fully met the city’s needs.

Council discussed the city’s ability to compete financially with larger municipalities and
noted that the city was not under immediate pressure to make a permanent appointment
due to the continued availability of Interim City Attorney Stokes. Members also discussed
the value of stability and continuity, as well as the potential cost, both financial and
operational, of frequent turnover in the City Attorney position.
During the discussion, the council identified an alternative option that had not been fully
considered before the interviews. Members expressed interest in further evaluating that
option, along with the existing candidates, before making a final decision. Council
members emphasized that tabling the matter was not a rejection of the candidates but rather
a desire to make a fully informed decision.
