City Council Meeting — 7/28/2026 - 6:30 p.m.

The City of Titusville City Council held a regular meeting on July 28, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included a first reading of an ordinance to amend zoning regulations to allow transmission towers as conditional uses in community commercial districts. This change aims to address wireless coverage gaps by enabling a proposed 150-foot tower in a commercial area, subject to public hearings and conditional use permits. The council also reviewed an ordinance to rename the landscape trust fund to the urban forest trust fund, aligning with the city's urban forest management plan. Budget discussions focused on setting the tentative millage rate for fiscal year 2027 at 6.2 mills, the lowest in 18 years, with a 1.95% increase above the rollback rate. Council members discussed the flexibility this provides for funding priorities, including infrastructure and essential services, and emphasized transparency in budget communication. Additionally, the council expressed consensus on moving forward with a lobbyist contract to pursue state appropriations for shovel-ready projects, particularly in water and stormwater infrastructure. A proposal to change the agenda review process to a more transparent, group webinar format was also discussed, with mixed opinions among council members. No formal votes on procurement contracts were recorded, but direction was given to bring a lobbyist contract forward for approval.
