Votes at a glance: golf course contract, in‑lieu parking, budget amendment and appointments
The Delray Beach City Commission took several formal actions during its Oct. 14 meeting. Below is a concise listing of the items approved or acted on at the session.

Golf course contract (Resolution No. 27‑247‑25) — Approved
The commission awarded a $28,560,667.14 construction contract to NMP Golf Construction Corp. for the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course renovation. The resolution authorizes the city manager to execute contract documents and related amendments; the commission approved the award unanimously.

In‑lieu parking request for 149 Northeast Second Avenue (Resolution No. 199‑25) — Approved
The commission approved an in‑lieu parking fee request for a change of use at 149 NE Second Ave (conversion of a small retail bay to restaurant use) and allowed payment in lieu of building 10 additional on‑site parking spaces. Staff said available walkable parking and recent garage occupancy data supported the request. The motion passed on a commission roll call.

Budget amendment (Resolution No. 256‑25) — Approved
Commissioners approved a budget amendment moving $49,000 within the sanitation enterprise fund to cover residential service fees for September 2025 (a fiscal closeout true‑up). Staff said the transfer is internal to the enterprise fund and necessary to reconcile estimated revenues and actual expenses at fiscal year end.

Appointment to Planning & Zoning Board — Roger Cope (appointed)
Commissioner Markert nominated Roger Cope for the planning and zoning board rotation seat; the commission approved the nomination by voice vote.

Ordinances (historic adaptive reuse) — Adopted on second reading
The commission adopted two related measures on second reading: a comprehensive‑plan amendment (Ordinance No. 08‑25) adding policy language to support adaptive reuse of designated historic places of worship, and a Land Development Regulation amendment (Ordinance No. 07‑25) creating a limited pathway in the Community Facility (CF) zoning district to permit detached single‑family reuse when Historic Preservation Board findings are satisfied. The HPB had recommended approval; the commission adopted the ordinances with a recorded dissent from Mayor Thomas Carney.

Other votes
On first reading the commission moved forward with ordinances removing the Parking Management Advisory Board and revising in‑lieu parking procedures (Ordinances 22‑25 and 23‑25); those measures were advanced as part of the regular process. Staff will return with implementing procedures where needed.

No additional immediate budget or tax actions were taken and several items (parking pilot adjustments, school‑related presentations) were directed to staff for follow‑up rather than immediate votes.
