Regular Town Council Meeting | 03-18-2026

The Town of Cutler Bay held its regular Town Council meeting on March 18, 2026, with significant focus on the status and future of the Cutler Ridge Park aquatic facilities. The council discussed the closure of the aging pool due to extensive repair needs, including a detailed technical memorandum estimating repair costs at approximately $782,685, with potential additional costs raising the total to over $600,000. Vice Mayor Callahan recommended approving an unbudgeted line item of up to $50,000 to develop engineered repair drawings for permitting to better understand the true repair costs and timeline, which was unanimously supported by the council. The discussion also covered the timeline for repairs, potential operation of two pools once the new Legacy Park pool is completed (expected around 2027), and the fiscal responsibility of the town in managing these costs. Additionally, the council approved the issuance of a capital improvement revenue bond not exceeding $17 million to finance the completion of Legacy Park and the municipal complex, with favorable loan terms secured. Updates were provided on ongoing infrastructure projects, including Franjo Road improvements and environmental testing for Legacy Park development. The meeting included presentations from state representatives and community members emphasizing the importance of aquatic facilities and community engagement.
