City Commission Regular Meeting 10-13-2026 5:00 PM

The City of Delray Beach City Commission’s regular meeting on October 13, 2026, considered a turnkey management contract for the city’s tennis facilities. After discussion of a bid protest and concerns that the RFP’s 10-year management-experience requirement may have limited competition, the commission rejected a motion to cancel the solicitation and reissue it with a five-year requirement (2–3). It then approved Resolution 107-26 awarding the agreement to Dubin and Associates, Inc., doing business as JCD Sports Group, by a 4–1 vote. Staff said five proposals were initially received and that JCD was the only remaining proposer after further review; the transcript does not state the contract’s dollar value. The agreement was described as a five-year term with renewal options.

Other financial and development matters included a parking-program review reporting approximately $90,000 more in permit revenue and $9.5 million in total parking revenue, up 31.9% from the prior year; commissioners and speakers debated paid parking and whether to continue free Wednesdays, but no related action was taken. The commission approved an inventory of 20 city- and CRA-owned parcels potentially suitable for affordable housing; some CRA parcels are under active redevelopment or being prepared for RFPs. A budget amendment was presented with approximately $221,670.41 in contractor-damage settlement proceeds and $140,000 for replacement of deceased trees at the municipal golf course, funded through the city’s tree trust fund, but the transcript ends before the vote or disposition is recorded. The CRA’s possible parking-garage project was also discussed as a prospective effort, not an approved award.
