City Commission Meeting May 7, 2026

The City of Dunedin held its City Commission meeting on May 7, 2026, focusing primarily on community recognitions and development projects. The meeting featured proclamations for Teacher Appreciation Week, Professional Municipal Clerks Week, and Older Americans Month, highlighting community engagement and support for education and senior citizens. Procurement-related discussions included the approval of an increase in the purchase order amount for contracted services with Raftelis Financial Consultants Inc. for a solid waste rate study, and a significant agenda item was the design review approval for a mixed-use development project at 265 Causeway Boulevard. This project, involving 12 townhomes, a retail winery, and a seven-room hotel, was previously approved but required re-approval due to missed deadlines. The commission unanimously approved the project and waived the second reading to expedite construction. The meeting also covered updates on historic preservation efforts, budget preparations with a focus on operational cost reductions, and ongoing grant applications totaling approximately $7 million. No new contracts or vendor selections were announced, but the discussions indicated active management of capital projects and financial consulting services.
