Residents press for transparency on workshop minutes; applicant seeks rehearing and resident plans park cleanups
Summary
At the public-comment period, a resident asked why workshop audio and minutes were not posted online, a business applicant sought a procedural pathway to reopen a prior denial, and a resident announced two park adoptions and a cleanup event.
During the audience remarks portion of the meeting, residents raised transparency and process concerns and announced volunteer action.
Jennifer Bright, identifying herself as a resident of Ormond Beach, asked why the city had posted only six of nine workshop minutes and why some workshop audio was not available without a public-records (FOIA) request. "Why must the citizens jump through hoops and make formal requests to find out what's going on in their city?" she asked, citing specific workshops between April 1 and Aug. 19 and noting the goal-setting workshops from March and May were not posted. She said the missing workshop minutes are referenced in Resolution No. 2025-121 in the 2025 strategic plan and framed the omission as a transparency concern.
