# Zephyrhills City Council Meeting (11-9-2026)

The Zephyrhills City Council meeting on November 9, 2026, included several procurement approvals. Council approved an approximately $94,000 AD Morgan change order to restore slip-resistant epoxy flooring to the fleet maintenance shop project, while requesting a full accounting of the project’s contingency fund and prior uses. It also approved a replacement refuse truck, a manhole rehabilitation task order, a Razorback change order for additional sludge-holding-tank repairs (discussed as approximately $104,000), a 3.5% increase to sludge-hauling costs under a piggyback agreement with Tarpon Springs, and a new tractor for the wastewater division. The transcript does not provide amounts for most of these items. Staff asked to rescind the recent Chin Moore contract approval because of a misunderstanding and said it would return with a revised tree-planting project; no vote on rescission is evident in the transcript.

Council discussed a proposed Alice Hall community center design scope and fee of about $367,976, raising questions about the building’s size, budget, and scope. No approval is evident; a workshop was planned for November 23 to establish priorities before design proceeds. A local contractor has supplied nine city-branded bike racks for planned bus stops and a transfer station. Council members emphasized careful spending amid fiscal uncertainty, requested detailed project and contingency information, and discussed holding a broader budget workshop. Staff also agreed to examine leasing versus purchasing future fleet vehicles; no leasing decision was made.
