Regular City Commission Meeting - 16 July, 2026

The City of Eustis, Florida held a regular City Commission meeting on July 16, 2026, which included a detailed update on the city's financial management system evaluation and budget discussions. The commission received a status report from consultants Barry Dunn on the ongoing assessment and Request for Information (RFI) process for replacing the city's core financial, HR, and utility billing systems with a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. Four improvement options were presented, with a recommendation to pursue a core ERP replacement via a single RFP to minimize risk and improve efficiency. The timeline anticipates issuing the RFP in late 2026, vendor demonstrations, and contract negotiations by early 2027. Additionally, the commission discussed the proposed millage rate for the 2026-27 fiscal year, preliminary budget figures including personnel costs, capital projects, and insurance increases, and approved the annual update of the 5-year capital improvement schedule. Public comments included community event announcements and requests for city support for nonprofit activities. No formal contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but significant procurement planning and budget allocation discussions were conducted.
