3 issues in general with high priority
Storm response earns wide praise
Everyone from the mayor on down lauded staff for the smooth Tropical Depression Nine response — sandbags rolled through quickly, roads stayed safe, and improved drainage kept neighborhoods dry.
Relinquishing Florida Resilient Grant funding
The city is giving back a $285,000 state resilience grant it never touched because a larger $250,000 state legislative appropriation will pay to design the entire East Side Stormwater Pond Project. Sounds odd, but the appropriation covers more of the work.
James Finch settlement stalled
The Finch settlement was pulled from the agenda after an afternoon shade meeting surfaced a contract problem; Finch, who has waited six years, blasted the delay, and the mayor pledged the city is working to honor the deal.
