# Regular City Commission Meeting - 5 November, 2026

The City of Eustis, Florida, Regular City Commission meeting—listed for November 5, 2026 (meeting metadata is dated November 6)—included several fiscal and development-related actions. The commission approved Resolution 2026-78, an interlocal agreement with Lake County and the downtown and East Town CRAs concerning ambulance and emergency medical services MSTU tax-increment revenues. It also approved the city manager’s negotiated employment contract and authorized an amended agreement with the acting city manager. Staff reported that the city accepted nearly $2 million in grants and described substantial budget pressures, including frozen positions and more than $5 million in uncompleted work being reviewed for carryover or reprioritization, about $1.1 million of it in the general fund.

Economic Development presented a follow-up on a $40,000 marketing project, funded by a Duke Energy grant, whose broader scope includes website strategy and content as well as logo work. Commissioners asked for further logo revisions; no final logo decision was made. The commission also considered a future-land-use change for city-owned downtown property that could enable future development, while staff emphasized that the change itself would not authorize a property sale or construction. A motion to approve was made, but the vote result is not clear in the transcript. Separately, ordinances 2026-32, 2026-33, and 2026-34 concerning annexation and land-use/designation changes were tabled so staff and the applicant could address commission concerns about written development assurances. No new construction contract or vendor award was clearly identified.
