City Council Meeting - September 10, 2026

The City Council of Palm Beach Gardens held a meeting on September 10, 2026, primarily focused on budget adoption and zoning matters. The council approved the first reading of Ordinance 18-2026, adopting the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget with a proposed millage rate of 5.0537 mills, which is 5.74% above the rollback rate. The budget includes allocations for personnel costs, operating expenses, capital outlay, and reserves, supporting core city services such as police, fire rescue, and infrastructure improvements. Additionally, the council approved zoning-related ordinances and resolutions, including reaffirming the zoning designation of the Gardens Mall Planned Unit Development and amending related development orders. Several items, including annexation and school-related development amendments, were postponed to a future meeting on September 24, 2026, for further discussion. Motions to approve budget and zoning items passed unanimously with a 3-0 vote due to two council members' absence.
