City of Clermont Council Meeting - October 13th, 2026

The City of Clermont Council meeting was held October 13, 2026. The council approved consent agenda items 1–5; discussion of item 5 noted that fire impact fees could be considered for equipment funding through a future budget amendment, but no amount or purchasing action was specified. The council transmitted the city’s 2045 comprehensive plan to the state in a 3–2 vote, subject to revisions including Planning and Zoning recommendations, removal of references to Waterbrook HOA-owned property, correction of text, and direction to favor lower density and higher standards where the draft was inconsistent. The plan was developed with DPZ CoDesign; no consultant contract award or new procurement was considered. Members discussed potential future infrastructure demands and funding, including roads, utilities, stormwater, and whether impact fees would cover growth-related costs, but no funding allocation or project approval was made.

The council also adopted revised meeting-conduct rules in a 3–2 vote, including a three-minute initial period for council questions or statements. Items 6 and 7 were tabled to November 10, 2026, item 8 to October 27, and item 12 was withdrawn. A scheduled workshop on a rate study and designer drugs was canceled pending further staff information. The city manager agreed to look into possible boat-ramp fee benefits for disabled veterans. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or other specific procurement actions were identified.
