Eustis City Commission City Commission Meeting
Date: Nov 20, 2025Type: Meeting mention
The City Commission held a meeting where several key actions were taken regarding budget amendments and resolutions. The Commission approved resolutions concerning waste management refuse collection rate increases, emergency budget amendments for flood-related infrastructure repairs, and interfund receivables for the State Forfeiture Fund. Significant deliberation occurred regarding the carry-over of unencumbered budgeted funds for capital projects, specifically regarding the Coolidge Street project, the North Shore culvert, and cemetery improvements, resulting in partial approval for specific projects. The Commission also approved agreements for enterprise resource planning (ERP) advisory services and debated the purchase of real property at 200 S. Bay Street, ultimately postponing the decision pending further workshop discussion. Additionally, the Commission adopted ordinances related to the voluntary annexation, comprehensive plan amendment, and design district assignment for specific parcels near County Road 44.
