The City of Tamarac held a meeting on September 24, 2026, which included a comprehensive discussion of the FY2027 budget. The city commission adopted the operating millage rate at 7.0 mills, maintaining the rate from the previous year, with an overall budget of approximately $231.4 million across all funds. The budget supports key city services including public safety, fire rescue, utilities, stormwater management, parks and recreation, and information technology. The meeting also addressed capital improvement projects, notably a citywide upgrade to advanced smart water meters and the launch of the Kubra Drop Country online portal for water use management. Additionally, the commission discussed a federally funded roadway improvement project on Northwest 94th Avenue, with construction anticipated to begin in fall 2027. Concerns were raised about compliance with development agreements related to contaminated soil removal at a construction site, leading to a motion for city staff to investigate and potentially issue a stop work order. The meeting included proclamations for Food Waste Prevention Week, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Preparedness Month, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and Customer Service Week. Public safety and community engagement events were also highlighted. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the budget adoption and capital projects indicate ongoing procurement and infrastructure investment activities.
