Top issues during term (20)
Large-scale data center moratorium
Unknown potential power, water, and infrastructure demands of 100–500+ megawatt facilities.
Citrus Grove Elementary school zone
Roughly $80,000, which Commissioner Ciampi said can come from district funds.
FEC Railroad Quiet Zone update
Much of the expensive crossing upgrades are already done; remaining costs were described as nominal.
Code enforcement lien relief
Could reduce or eliminate six-figure liens for innocent owners; the specific case involves a roughly $1.5 million lien.
Unhoused residents and substance-use services
Speakers cited a $30 million state appropriation in HB 5001 potentially available and argued jailing costs more than housing.
Flock surveillance cameras and opioid abatement funds
Commenter cited county spending of about $37,000 for the cameras.
$60 million utility revenue bonds for water plant expansion
Funded by utility capital facilities charges — no new taxes or borrowing.
New Martin County Fairgrounds in Indiantown
Mavis Tires & Brakes store on South Kanner Highway
Hobe Sound recreational lighting height amendment (LDR 26-02)
Kanner/96th Street agricultural enclave request
Denial preserves agricultural land use; certification would have fast-tracked single-family residential development plans within 180 days.
Martin County Operations Facility site plan
About $4.7 million a year in debt service for 20 years, roughly $95 million total, backed by half-cent sales tax.
MARTY transit service shutdown
A one-year MTM contract at about $105.53 per revenue hour plus startup costs, with ridership at over 155,000 trips last fiscal year and the county budget as the spending ceiling.
Newfield environmental parcel donation and conservation easement
No direct county cost; the land conveys from the developer for environmental use.
FY 2026/2027 tentative budget and millage rates
Total countywide budget of $334.4 million with taxable values up 6.38% and millage unchanged.
St. Lucie Inlet dredge material relocation
Keeping the sand in the impoundment basin saves the county mobilization costs of $1–2 million versus offshore disposal, but the county must fund the next inlet dredging itself with DEP grant help.
Conservation land acquisition in Hobe Sound
Yeiser's gifts total $8.5 million; the ranch easement is $17 million with $5 million from the county.
Hobe Sound Business Park rezoning (B114-003)
Paceline sidewalk easement in Palm City
Paceline, not the county, pays to construct the sidewalk.
Manatee Pocket mooring field lease renewal
The lease is fee-waived, so there's no lease cost to the county shown.
