==Accomplishments==
Hall is one of several community forces who pushed for comprehensive [[charter review]] for the City of Pensacola. The [[City Charter]] had not undergone comprehensive review since it was adopted in [[1931]] by an action of the City Council. It had never been adopted by the electorate in Pensacola, which was a concern of the [[Pensacola Bay Area League of Women Voters]] (PBALWV). Moreover, the League of Women Voters cited flaws with provisions for citizen-led referenda that allowed the [[Pensacola City Attorney]] to interpret the provision at his or her convenience. Hall failed to get a second the first two times he moved to adopt charter review, and on a third try received four votes in favor. After the PBALWV joined with a movement proposing a [[strong mayor]] form of government, all nine Council members voted with him to form a [[Charter Review Commission]].
Hall is Chair of the Neighborhood Services Committee (police, fire, parks, roads, sanitation) and serves on the Finance Committee, Enterprise Operations Committee (port, airport, Saenger Theater, Osceola Municipal Golf Course, Library, Energy Services of Pensacola), Community Redevelopment Agency, and the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization.
