What this means

Most votes were procedural or technical—routine adjustments of the budget calendar, administrative delegations, and site‑specific land‑use and naming approvals needed for development permits. The most substantive policy outcomes are (1) the tentative budget and rollback millage, which set the financing framework for the coming year and major capital projects; and (2) the license amendment for Hollywood Estates, which transfers maintenance responsibility for landscaped entrance parcels to the voluntary HOA and resolves a recurring local dispute.

Council minutes show no recorded dissents on any item. The council will return for the final budget hearing Sept. 16, 2025, when it must formally adopt the millage and budget.
