The City of Dunedin Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) held a special meeting on September 17, 2026, to discuss and adopt the fiscal year 2027 operating and capital budget. Key procurement-related topics included approval of a streetscape project on Main Street involving sidewalk widening, new brick pavers, and landscaping to enhance the downtown area. The CRA also plans to update its master plan to extend beyond its 2033 sunset date and consider future funding strategies. A placeholder budget was included for a potential parking garage project on Scotland Avenue, with discussions on financing and debt service indicating no additional taxpayer burden. The meeting also covered ongoing capital projects such as Skinner Boulevard improvements and Grand Oak Park enhancements, supported by grants and city funds. Commissioners discussed the potential dissolution of the CRA as a contingency plan, weighing the financial impacts and benefits. The budget was unanimously approved, and staff was encouraged to analyze the financial implications of the CRA's future, including parking revenue and county funding contributions.
