The City of Homestead Council Meeting held on April 22, 2026, included several procurement and contracting discussions. Key highlights included the approval of a resolution to accept a 10-acre surplus county property for public park purposes, with conditions to ensure it is deed-restricted for park use. The council approved a contract award to Lanzo Construction, Inc. for the Chrome and Flagler Avenue water and sewer upgrade and transit accessibility improvements project, valued at approximately $26.78 million, funded through a combination of impact fees, utility revenue notes, and state grants. Additionally, the council approved an amendment increasing the scope and budget for epoxy flooring installation at Harrisfield Park, with a contract amount not to exceed $177,910 including contingency. Legislative matters included amendments to city codes on subdivision, landscaping, business certificates of use, and public-private partnership proposal processing. The council also deferred several zoning and site plan approvals for a residential subdivision development to allow for further review. A proposed ordinance clarifying boat parking regulations within private residential developments was deferred for further workshop discussion. The meeting featured presentations on community initiatives, including neurodiversity inclusion and public safety training, and updates on city beautification and infrastructure projects.
