FY2026 Budget Amendment
Resolution 131-26 would adjust the town's FY2026 operating and capital budget. Budget amendments move money around, which can affect what gets funded this year.
Modica property sale offer
Council agreed, by consensus, to have the town manager explore the sale price and financing terms Modica publicly offered for the settlement property, with the town also considering its own appraisal.
Sawfish Bay Stormwater Quality Grant
The town was set to sign a state grant agreement worth up to $125,000 for stormwater quality work at Sawfish Bay. Cleaner runoff means a healthier waterway.

County parks officials were scheduled to present updates on the future Karen Marcus Ocean Park Preserve, detailing plans for regional park space and recreational opportunities.

The town is updating its public safety alarm system rules under Ordinance 15-26 to improve municipal response and management. Residents and business owners with security alarms will want to see how these changes impact local alarm permits and false alarm penalties.
Fine Reduction Request for Repeat Commercial Violations
