Zephyrhills CRA & City Council Meetings (4-27-2026)

The City of Zephyrhills held a joint Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and City Council meeting on April 27, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation and approval of the CRA master plan, which outlined a 5-10 year vision for capital improvement projects, redevelopment sites, and economic development initiatives within the CRA district. The CRA board approved the purchase of two lots at 386 41 and 386 456 Avenue to address blight and encourage redevelopment. The City Council also approved a historic facade grant for window replacements at 541 110th Street, funding up to 50% of the $8,700 project cost. Additionally, the council approved a long-term franchise agreement renewal with Duke Energy Florida for electric utility infrastructure use of public rights-of-way, including provisions for fee payments to the city. The council authorized transitioning credit card processing for utility payments to Tyler Technologies, eliminating previous vendors, and agreed to pass credit card processing fees to customers. These actions reflect ongoing efforts to support redevelopment, infrastructure improvements, and efficient utility billing operations. Other topics included public safety concerns related to a private golf course property and updates on economic development activities.
