City Commission Meeting 10-06-2026 05:00 PM

The City of Delray Beach City Commission meeting was held October 6, 2026. The commission approved Ordinance 39-26 on second reading, requiring lobbyist disclosure and certification with development applications, and Ordinance 40-26, amending the Community Redevelopment Plan. It also approved a right-of-way dedication on Northwest Swinton Avenue. The city manager reported that Lindell Boulevard and Barwick Road infrastructure improvements are substantially complete and nearing closeout. No new contract awards, bids, or purchasing approvals were identified. Representatives of Roots and Wings and Bound for College requested city financial support, citing their local literacy and college-access work, but the commission made no funding decision.

The commission discussed the pending phase-one report for the Old School Square campus study by Web Management; the city attorney said the report and recommendations were due under the existing agreement. Commissioners did not advance the proposed additional $50,000 phase, and a task-force discussion is expected at a future meeting. The commission also reached consensus to involve the city auditor in reviewing cemetery records and operations, with no cost or formal action specified. Other policy and financial topics included potential e-bike rules, a proposed education/workforce task-force framework, and activation of the Budget Financial Review Committee to assess financial risks and opportunities. No procurement action was taken on those discussions.
