Below are the formal actions recorded during the Sept. 8 Zephyrhills Community Development Agency and City Council meetings. All votes below were recorded as unanimous in the meeting minutes unless noted.

1) Zephyrhills Community Development Agency
- Jeffreys House reroof (CDA agenda item): Motion to approve reroof passed unanimously. (See separate article.)

2) Consent agenda and airport/airport-related items (City Council consent agenda)
- Consent agenda (items 1.1–1.6 as listed on the meeting packet): Approved by motion and unanimous vote. The consent agenda included multiple routine contract renewals, agreements and project amendments.
- Airport apron and hangar construction (itemized in staff presentation): Council approved agreements for FAA‑participating apron construction (state/Federal participation noted at the meeting: FAA pays approximately 90% on some elements) and an amendment adding box hangar No. 2 to a Stellar Development agreement at roughly $4,200,000 (staff described the figure as a round number). Council also confirmed earlier direction to remove an FBO requirement from that state appropriation so the appropriation covers box hangar #1 and taxiway Foxtrot; the city will fund box hangar #2 entirely.

3) Ordinances — first readings (public hearings)
- Ordinance No. 156-25 (first reading): sets the millage rate for fiscal year 2025–2026 at 6.25 mills (the rollback rate was read into the record as 6.0848 mills). Council member moved approval; first reading passed unanimously. The staff noted the 6.25 rate represents a technical increase of 2.71 percent when compared to the rollback computation under Florida Statute 200.065.
- Ordinance No. 157-25 (first reading): adopts the fiscal year 2025–2026 budget. Staff described total expenditures of roughly $136,000,000 with $70,000,000 in capital expenditures, including $27,000,000 for a public works facility and $16,000,000 for Zephyr Park. Council moved and seconded; first reading passed unanimously.

4) Utilities and equipment contracts
- Piggyback meter-replacement agreement with HST Utilities (item 3.1): Council approved a piggyback contract to replace roughly 10,000 meters over a three-year period (3,500 in the first two years and the balance in the third year), including backflow and valve replacements if needed. Motion passed unanimously.

5) Stormwater utility implementation and billing mechanism
- Piggyback/implementation agreement and billing approach: Council approved proceeding with consultant work and a piggyback arrangement (Martin County/REFELUS referenced in the motion) to design and implement a new stormwater utility and directed staff to pursue collection on the county tax roll rather than monthly utility bills. Motion passed unanimously. (See separate article for details.)

How votes were recorded in the meeting
- Nearly all motions were approved by voice vote after a motion and second were recorded on the floor; the chair called for aye/nay and recorded unanimous passage in most items. Where roll-call tallies were not given in the transcript, the minutes record the motions as passed unanimously.

Items requiring follow-up
- Staff noted several items that will return to council for additional action (additional funding requests for the Jeffreys House if structural repairs exceed contingency; the draft stormwater utility ordinance and rate model; site-specific design and scope documents for Zephyr Park and Z Venue).
