City of PSL: Regular City Council Meeting - 09/28/2026

The City of Port St. Lucie City Council’s regular meeting on September 28, 2026, included budget, fee, property, and public-art decisions. Council approved Ordinance 26-72, amending the FY 2025–26 budget, and approved revisions to planning and zoning fees following a cost-recovery study. Staff reported current fees recovered about 56% of the cost of those services, with proposed changes expected to raise recovery to about 95% and annual revenue to approximately $1.4 million; annual CPI adjustments are planned beginning October 1. Council also approved Resolution 26-R79 authorizing acquisition of a parcel for public-safety purposes; no purchase price was stated. The transcript records no specific dollar amount for the budget amendment or property acquisition.

Council considered a $200,000 proposal to purchase and install three mosaic artworks at Torino Regional Park, with $100,000 identified from parks impact fees and another $100,000 from a second funding source not clear in the transcript. After discussing the invited RFP process and ranked artist recommendations, council members favored regrouping and restarting the selection rather than proceeding with the current proposals; no formal vote is captured. The city manager also said the vendor was to remove 18 license-plate-reader cameras from county and state rights-of-way by September 30, while council discussed a possible program pause and future policy review. Staff committed to follow up on reported AT&T fiber-construction damage, and the city manager provided updates on road projects supported by the voter-approved half-cent sales tax.
