Special City Council Meeting — 9/9/26 - 5:30 p.m.

The City of Titusville held a special city council meeting on September 9, 2026, primarily focused on the first public hearing for the fiscal year 2027 budget. The council reviewed the proposed operating millage rate of 6.0812 mills, which represents a rollback rate with no increase in property tax. The overall budget was presented at approximately $177 million, including general, enterprise, and capital improvement funds. Key procurement-related discussions included proposed increases in water, sewer, and solid waste rates, as well as funding for capital projects such as the stormwater master plan and the purchase of equipment for ditch maintenance. The council tentatively adopted ordinances related to the millage rate, utility rate increases, and the enterprise and capital improvement budgets. Public comments raised concerns about past expenditures on water resources projects and the legality of certain dams, as well as the need for infrastructure investment and potential future bonding to address aging water infrastructure. The meeting concluded with motions to tentatively adopt the budget ordinances and no further procurement actions were taken at this session.
