RESOLUTIONS:
Resolution 113-2026
City Council approved a contract with Chen Moore & Associates to develop a long-term Master Plan for the Downtown Civic Area and Memorial Park. The approximately six-month process will include community engagement, public listening sessions and design workshops to help shape recommendations for Memorial Park, City Hall, the Community Center, Tennis Center, Singing Pines Building Complex and surrounding public spaces. The contract totals $519,925, with an additional $52,000 contingency for unforeseen needs, and funding is available within the City’s existing Capital Improvement Program budget.
REGULAR PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Ordinance No. 5794
City Council approved the City’s Building Recertification Inspection Program to align local requirements with recent changes to Florida law. The amendments clarify which buildings are subject to recertification, update inspection, and reporting deadlines, allow extensions when appropriate, and establish requirements for completing necessary structural or electrical repairs. The changes are intended to maintain the City’s building safety standards while ensuring consistency with state law and are expected to have no fiscal impact to the City.
Ordinance No. 5796
City Council approved an amendment to the Police and Firefighters Pension Plan that would allow eligible firefighters to receive full or partial refunds for prior service credit purchased before April 14, 2015. The change addresses five firefighters whose purchased service credit was later affected by a cap on pension benefits and was negotiated as part of the City’s collective bargaining agreement with IAFF Local 1560. The amendment would increase the pension plan’s unfunded actuarial liability by approximately $56,922 and the City’s annual funding requirement by approximately $4,337.
SPECIAL MEETING RESOLUTIONS:
Resolution 99-2026
City Council approved the 2027 final assessment roll for the Downtown Special Assessment District, identifying properties within the district and the special assessment amounts assigned to them. The assessments are based on each property’s calculated special benefit, while certain properties excluded from the assessment are listed with a zero balance. The approved assessments will be due on or before January 1, 2027, helping fund services and improvements that benefit properties within the Downtown district.
