City of PSL: Special City Council Meeting - 11/03/2026

The City of Port St. Lucie City Council held a special emergency meeting on November 3, 2026, following unprecedented rainfall and flooding. The council approved Resolution 26-R86 in the context of the storm emergency. City staff reported on road closures, vehicle towing, relocated polling places, drainage and utility operations, potholes, and delayed trash collection. Staff also said an assistance program was being prepared for eligible homeowners, offering up to $25,000 for qualifying storm-related expenses as a forgivable, deferred-payment loan, subject to program requirements.

Procurement and capital-project discussion focused on stormwater infrastructure: officials noted prior multimillion-dollar city investments, existing and planned improvements in vulnerable areas including California and Savona, and state funding requests for stormwater work that were vetoed. Council requested a future workshop update on pothole locations and repair needs. No contract award, bid approval, or new purchasing decision was identified.
