Top issues during term (20)
Water and Sewer Fund; Water and Wastewater Trust Fund
Decisions on these funds can influence water and sewer rates for utility customers.
Orange Camp Commercial South development
No direct cost to residents; future development would expand the commercial tax base.
Commercial land use and rezone near West Volusia and South Spring Garden
Could shift a long-standing affordable rental property out of the housing stock if it converts to transient lodging.
Stormwater Engineering Consultant Selection
Not stated — consultant costs will come later once a firm is selected.
FY 2026-27 Millage Rate Set at 6.1841 Mills
Property owners face a rate 2.70% above roll-back as the ceiling for September adoption.
Amendment 3 budget gap and FY 2027/28 revenue strategies
Could cost the city about $5.2 million in FY 2027/28 and $8.8 million the year after — and any new fees or assessments would come out of residents' and businesses' wallets.
Unsafe and deteriorated residential structures
Repeat-violation fines could add up to significant liens against the property if imposed.
Rear storefront alteration at 116 W. New York Avenue
No public cost — the changes are privately funded by the building owner.
Community development trends report
Slower development could mean slower-than-projected revenue growth for the city budget.
General election results declared and Organizational Meeting set

The revised schedule changes fees for fire prevention services, though exact amounts weren't in the materials provided.
New firefighters and police officer sworn into city service
New hires add to the city's payroll, though specific costs weren't given at this meeting.
The Vue at Blue Lake townhome development
Adds 35 new townhomes to the housing stock near the Blue Lake area.
Right-of-Way Permitting Process
A new permit fee schedule would generate revenue and set costs for right-of-way work in city streets.
West Voorhis Avenue Streetscape Project
Alternatives range from about $348,000 to $1.73 million, and the full build exceeds available reserves by roughly $220,000.
Proposed Wawa convenience store with gas pumps at ISB and Spring Garden
Adds a new gas station and convenience store to a busy intersection.
Stetson Baptist Church storage outbuilding
The applicant reported the building price rising roughly 10 percent every two months while review continues.
Six-foot fence variance at 1035 E. Voorhis Avenue
Wiley M. Nash plant floodproofing and Lift Station #1 relocation
Project costs would be borne by the city, though a specific figure was not listed on the agenda.
Lien reductions on delinquent code cases
A lien reduction would reduce revenue the city might otherwise collect.
