What passed in brief
Ordinances 2025-02 and 2025-03 were presented by Gwen Herstein, city planner, as voluntary annexations of recently built or existing single‑family residences. Staff recommended RSF‑2 zoning for both properties and confirmed statutory notice requirements under Florida Statute 171.044 had been met. Both measures passed on unanimous roll calls.
Resolution 2025-02 was presented by Stuart Cruz, community services director, and would relinquish any city interest in a walkway adjacent to the Sanibel Condo so Volusia County can consolidate ownership and rebuild a contiguous beach approach after hurricane damage. Cruz said the county requested the resolution so there would be no encumbrances when the county accepts the property.
Appointments and calendar
Reverend Bob was reappointed to the county advisory board; Reverend Melissa was named alternate. City Manager Scott Schwartzlander and staff noted the county advisory board has awarded and managed opioid‑related grants that city departments used to buy AEDs and CPR equipment.
