The City of Hollywood held a special city commission meeting on September 23, 2026, focused primarily on the second public budget hearing for fiscal year 2027. Key procurement-related discussions included the adoption of the fiscal year 2027 operating budget, capital improvement plan totaling approximately $139 million, and authorization of 75 new city positions, with a significant portion dedicated to public utilities such as water, sewer, and stormwater projects. The commission approved a flat operating millage rate with a slight reduction in debt service millage, maintaining a structurally balanced budget exceeding $1 billion. Public comments raised concerns about tax increases and urged fiscal restraint, while city officials emphasized the need to address rising costs and deferred maintenance. The meeting concluded with unanimous votes to adopt the millage rate, budget resolution, capital improvement plan, authorized positions, and concurrence with the Community Redevelopment Agency budget.
