Top issues during term (20)
Viva Oviedo Festival City-Sponsored Designation and Partnership Agreement
The festival paid about $7,000 in city costs last year, and its October 17 event budgeting is on hold pending the outcome.
Flock License Plate Reader Program Under Review
The city pays through the end of the fiscal year under the non-appropriation clause, but avoids roughly two years of remaining contract costs — the service wasn't budgeted for FY 2026-27 anyway.
Amendment 3 property tax impact on Oviedo
Full cuts would mean roughly 84 fewer city employees; a full millage offset would raise the rate from 5.6692 to about 8.867 mils.
Bicycle and Micromobility Regulation (Ordinance No. 1776)
Civil fines of $50-$250 for violations; no major cost identified beyond signage and enforcement.
FY 2026-27 Millage Rate and Budget Adoption
New positions would add $561,036 in recurring annual costs; the police station requires about $11.4 million in new debt.
Kingsbridge PUD / seminary dormitories
Possible additional year-end budget amendments may come before the board in November.
Firefighters' pension plan administration and investments
Quarterly professional service fees of roughly $21,000 come out of the pension fund, which is backed by city and member contributions.
Windy Pine Way drainage erosion repair
$72,891.30 bid plus $7,289 contingency, for a total project budget of $80,181.
Girl Scout Pet Memorial Rainbow Bridge
Kingsbridge PUD amendment allowing seminary dormitories
Traffic studies show a net reduction of roughly 27-49 daily trips versus existing entitlements; no direct cost to the city identified.
Stormwater improvements at Center Lake Park
Backed by the 10-year stormwater rate plan and a $9.5 million utility revenue note — no new money needed for the update itself.
Twin Rivers Golf Course forensic engagement
General fund balance grew by about $3 million, ending the year at roughly $23.6 million.
Amendment 3 public education
Redundant city fiber optic connection
$109,797.39, funded by a $110,000 transfer from General Fund balance.
Public Arts Board participation in Great Day in the Country #52
Booth sales could bring in some money for the board's arts programs, but no dollar figures were listed.
Doctors Court Extension to Oviedo Boulevard
About $2.8 million to build (in today's dollars), with $300,000 already budgeted for design from the sales tax fund; right-of-way costs are still unknown.
Live Oak Reserve force main replacement
$889,000 plus a $88,900 contingency for construction.
Feral hog trapping at Riverwoods Park
The city expects the competitive bid to lower last year's trapping cost, which it considered high.
State and federal lobbying contracts
$125,000 combined in annual lobbying spending from the city budget.
Speaker Addresses and Public Records Privacy
None — the staff report lists zero budget impact.
