October 06, 2026 City of Mulberry, Florida Commission Meeting

The October 6, 2026, City of Mulberry Commission meeting approved a planning agreement for hurricane-mitigation projects. The discussion cited approximately $19.2 million in grant funding, about half of the city’s $38 million request, and proposed planning and design for seven projects; funding for final construction was not guaranteed. Officials highlighted access and right-of-way issues at the wastewater and water plants, including a need to complete environmental work by November 15. The commission voted to approve the agreement. Separately, it approved a $510 donation for Wreaths Across America. The library reported that podcast equipment and acoustic tiles had been purchased with a Tampa Bay Library Consortium innovation grant. Officials also recommended involving the city’s bond team and financial consultant in future discussions about structuring USDA debt; no action was taken on that item.
