# City Commission Meeting 9.16.2026

The City of Hollywood held a City Commission meeting on September 16, 2026, which included extensive discussions on several procurement and development-related items. Key procurement actions included the approval of a $1,950,000 interlocal agreement loan to Housing Trust Group LLC for the acquisition of property at 1708 North Dixie Highway to develop Mosaic Hollywood, an affordable housing project with approximately 84 units. The loan is structured to be repaid at construction closing, with the project aiming to be shovel-ready for state funding applications. Additionally, the commission approved a resolution to execute a $2.9 million grant agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for tidal flooding mitigation and shoreline protection projects, along with a construction agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for related improvements. The commission also approved updates to the comprehensive schedule of fees, including water and sewer rates and parking fees, and authorized a $2.7 million renewal of property and casualty insurance with Aon Risk Services. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to zoning and development policy, including the first reading of an ordinance establishing the Hollywood Beach Overlay District, which includes zoning regulations and urban design guidelines aimed at balancing redevelopment incentives with preservation of the beach's character. The commission heard extensive public comment expressing concerns about building heights, density, environmental impacts, and community engagement. The overlay district includes provisions for bonus programs tied to public benefits such as resiliency funding and public parking. The commission debated the merits and timing of the overlay ordinance, with some members advocating for a workshop before proceeding. The meeting also included a first reading of amendments to the city's procurement code, modernizing policies and allowing the commission to waive the cone of silence on procurements by majority vote. Overall, the meeting addressed multiple procurement contracts, budget allocations, and significant policy decisions affecting future development and procurement activities in the city.
