Regular Town Council Meeting | 04-15-2026

The Town of Cutler Bay held its regular Town Council meeting on April 15, 2026, focusing heavily on ongoing and upcoming capital improvement projects and related procurement activities. Key discussions included detailed updates on the Legacy Park project, including the pool and community center construction timelines, permitting challenges, and contract negotiations for GMP2 (Guaranteed Maximum Price) with the contractor Coffman. The council discussed the financial prudence of repairing the existing Cutler Ridge pool versus waiting for the new Legacy Park pool, with concerns about the $50,000 repair cost and a four-month overlap period. The council agreed to receive monthly progress updates on the pool construction to maintain transparency and accountability. Additionally, the council approved an amendment to the purchase order with Stantech Consulting Services, Inc. for extended owner representative and construction administration services due to project redesigns and grant-related work, reflecting increased project costs. Updates were also provided on the Franjo Road roadway improvement project, including construction progress and pending utility installations. The council approved a variance application for a development project on Southwest 211 Street and authorized staff to work on updating town codes to attract advanced manufacturing and aerospace industries, aiming to diversify the local economy. Motions related to contract amendments and project approvals were passed unanimously, demonstrating council support for advancing these procurement and infrastructure initiatives.
