City Manager Mark told the council the ordinance cleans up the charter so the city’s qualifying and runoff schedules will be consistent with changing state and county election deadlines. \"This ordinance cleans that up, requires us to coordinate each year with those qualifying dates, with the supervisor of elections,\" Mark said.

Council discussion focused on the practical effects for candidates. Council member French said the change \"provides longer periods of time for people running for office to go out and fundraise and get all their ... signs done\" and recalled the prior short qualifying window that fell near holidays. Mark and other council members noted the change may push qualifying into the fourth quarter, which could require \"one additional financial report\" for candidates because of calendar reporting periods. Staff also reminded the council that sign placement remains governed by the city's 60-day rule for when signs may be displayed.

No members of the public spoke during the public comment period for this item. A council member moved adoption on second reading; the motion passed on roll call vote.

The ordinance amends the charter sections identified in the ordinance reading and provides severability and conflict clauses. Staff said the council will adopt a resolution each year establishing the specific qualifying dates in coordination with the supervisor of elections.

The council did not direct further changes during the July 28 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Maitland City Council Meeting - July 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Maitland City Council on July 28, 2025, adopted Ordinance 1447 to amend city charter sections setting runoff election and candidate qualifying dates so the city’s schedule aligns with dates established each year by the supervisor of elections.","taxTitle","City of Maitland, Orange County, Florida","taxId",71214,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6152866,"Maitland sets millage rates, schedules tentative budget hearing for Sept. 8, 2025",620,1179000,1799000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496301-a55bdfd943309265e9c2c48ae4efa587&start=1179&end=1799","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496301-a55bdfd943309265e9c2c48ae4efa587/thumbnail_1179000.jpg","/articles/6152866/Florida/Maitland-sets-millage-rates-schedules-tentative-budget-hearing-for-Sept-8-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152866-168fcdeab18d5665a9641797852765ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1775346962&Signature=bNefh3OR8bKdDfY3z~MF-RrI04IMfgIDMmDwsagCADcMRvFBAcHn9UhdKRRK2YMGP5xE7~LsYDifgBITKHHRHGEcr1kPNRxuDzBxXPgUAxjcKCi8ZbsIrGDU8oXYBIjqtKq6vLQsqUoY9WTqxsDd1PDSBNA9cbDWY2vLFb6WlExd3r20nG9e2~oN1v41EWxd8wQlDQzrxMfjSHOx5LyGe70WktRU~~IRINCH74hJBk82GJRXRjgnROomgTRSgryJlnlFRB75e2VaSZTMrlekRKNGfUYV225nruWem6WIv0W5U5EZkfityx~~ByddtCkrdy3Qlh0uU~0dLNqGEi7YIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Maitland City Council on July 28, 2025, completed its Truth in Millage (TRIM) actions for the 2025 tax year by setting the rollback millage and proposing operating and debt millage rates used in the draft 2025–2026 budget, and by scheduling the tentative budget hearing.

City Manager Mark explained the required steps under the Truth in Millage act in Chapter 200 of the Florida Statutes: the council must calculate the rollback millage, set proposed operating and voted debt millage rates and set the date, time and place for the tentative budget hearing so the county property appraiser can issue TRIM notices. Mark said the operating millage used in the draft budget is 5.0465 mills, the rollback rate is 4.8737 mills, the proposed voted debt millage is 0.1960 mills and the combined proposed total is 5.2425 mills. He said the combined rate is 0.006 mills less than the prior year because modest property value increases reduced the debt portion.

Mark told the council staff’s recommendation was not to increase the millage beyond the proposed rate. He also noted the supervisor of elections/processes for TRIM notices: once the council sets proposed millage rates staff completes forms that the property appraiser uses to mail the notice of proposed taxes in mid-August.

Council members voted on four separate motions required by statute. The council set the rollback rate at 4.8737 mills; set the proposed operating rate at 5.0465 mills; set the proposed voted debt rate at 0.1960 mills (for a combined 5.2425 mills); and set the tentative budget public hearing for Monday, Sept. 8, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. Each motion passed on roll call.

No public speakers addressed the millage item at the meeting. Council discussion included a short exchange about whether to set the proposed rate higher than intended to give flexibility if assessed values fell; the mayor and others said they preferred to set the proposed rate at the level they intended to levy.","At its July 28, 2025 meeting, the Maitland City Council set the rollback millage at 4.8737 mills, proposed operating millage at 5.0465 mills, proposed voted debt millage at 0.1960 mills (combined 5.2425 mills), and scheduled the tentative budget hearing for Sept. 8, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6152861,"Maitland council discusses Orange County redistricting; no formal endorsement taken",374,1704000,2078000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496301-a55bdfd943309265e9c2c48ae4efa587&start=1704&end=2078","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496301-a55bdfd943309265e9c2c48ae4efa587/thumbnail_1704000.jpg","/articles/6152861/Florida/Maitland-council-discusses-Orange-County-redistricting-no-formal-endorsement-taken","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152861-c14f805852de0dd81ed6b23f556ef5b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1775346962&Signature=awWF84hLN3m9uLf3yc7FLKDDfNE22UyiiqZVFBMWmQgwIP2DkGK5uhQcGB5ipyNvcTTZZmbfVwKd76Ae0ZIdUxe1IexkLmLVTaLlJen15J1nN~g0GaVo~b-S3FX6i4~UGRpQO8JCUS1f6yFqetxmj4fcVUmR91YxNk0MIVM1bRO2eXPe8u-nhvoK7Zyr6w2cbwcmAU-JgxA8tHCZCQp8rsOV31rnLucsPsJvlTqiLBhvmoqE0s3fQw6VJlJqRjbyUNksBpM3bCNPvtFSJix-xb4qXD8NpHRwrZCWTK-BiyzKERw~tY~8mRzCc0sZScg2HKn0XP9eEH1dIZ0JiMk44g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members discussed Orange County’s redistricting process during the July 28, 2025 meeting and considered whether the city should weigh in with a council endorsement of a preferred county commission map.

A council member who identified himself as Ben described three draft maps under final consideration and said two of the three appeared to group Maitland with similar nearby communities such as Winter Park and College Park, while a different map would pair the city with Tangerine and Apopka and would remove “Edenville” from the district with Maitland. Ben urged council members to review the county website and consider whether the city should submit comments or a letter to the county commission.

City Manager Mark said the county has 18 maps under consideration and that three had advanced for final consideration; staff noted remaining county meetings and that the county’s plan adoption was scheduled for Sept. 3. Council members discussed options including sending a letter of endorsement as a council, asking staff to place the topic on a future agenda for decision, or having individual council members submit comments privately. One council member said a council decision and a joint letter would be the strongest endorsement if the council agreed on a preferred map.

Council did not take formal action on July 28; members requested more time to review maps and suggested discussion or a decision could appear on a future agenda so the council could coordinate any formal comment before the county’s adoption schedule.","Council members heard a discussion on proposed Orange County commission redistricting maps July 28, 2025, including three finalist maps and a staff recommendation to review county materials and consider a council endorsement at a future meeting; no formal action was taken.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6152875,"Maitland council adopts updated codification of city ordinances",203,579000,782000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5496301-a55bdfd943309265e9c2c48ae4efa587&start=579&end=782","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5496301-a55bdfd943309265e9c2c48ae4efa587/thumbnail_579000.jpg","/articles/6152875/Florida/Maitland-council-adopts-updated-codification-of-city-ordinances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152875-2189480b0a395183fd5de58821775004/orig.mp4?Expires=1775346962&Signature=TNT0rL0WjJeqOolVHtpglk9UCPuhmzbVfJrMPn~n2BVrIrHAybcVV7eF3Mq82~sDGgy~O0DdOT3nE9AGcdlD-2SlaBF76vt1hVl9od5GZ2uE23zqZeRWurQQR5jfZ3Sa07e7ivtU~~UyjrIp-WDnwqxFWJ0SIF8P8~YWJl2EsXmrtfAlnzmwq0qEsIjINz~NMXmfT1qQHFSVoWnv7TJmQCnhG54Z8rppl1loA0nSnvdAfqXW0p2Ahx~dt-s67-p3bGcz5RRfmLmfXBN5~rmGxrNUYoWZcyCQ~1DnPjJ6sixgATM7P5EI3zGglHdzOzXaXGcd3S2cgvf70JViobt2Aw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Maitland City Council on July 28, 2025, approved Ordinance 1441 on second reading to adopt a new general codification and publication of the city’s permanent ordinances. The measure was approved after staff described the required decennial update and there were no public speakers.

The ordinance compiles ordinances the council has adopted over time, repeals ordinances not included in the new code and provides penalties for violations, according to the reading of the ordinance at the meeting. City Manager Mark (introduced the item) said the update is required every 10 years to reflect statutory changes and to incorporate ordinances not previously codified.

Council opened and closed public comment with no speakers. A council member moved to approve Ordinance 1441 on second reading and the motion passed on a roll call vote. The council did not request further changes at the July 28 meeting.

By adopting the codification, the council directed staff to proceed with publication and to continue using the updated code and supplements in future updates. The ordinance text states the publication will be supplemented and revised from time to time; the council did not set an effective date in the meeting record.

The adoption completes the statutory codification step described by staff and removes ordinances the city determined should be repealed in the new publication. The council did not receive any public comment on the ordinance during the meeting.

The council proceeded to other agenda items after the vote.","On second reading July 28, 2025, the Maitland City Council adopted Ordinance 1441, a citywide codification and republication of the city's permanent ordinances required by statute and regularly updated, with no public comment and unanimous council approval.","actionData","errors"]
