Summary of formal votes taken by the DeLand City Commission at the July 21 meeting, including the parking agreement, Taylor Ridge PD amendment, resolution honoring a retiring HR director, consent approvals and other procedural actions.
The DeLand City Commission took the following formal actions on July 21, 2025:
- Resolution 2025-48: Adopted a resolution honoring Mark C. Hayward for 25 years of service to the City of DeLand (unanimous voice vote).
- Consent agenda: Motion carried to approve consent items 2–8; item 1 (renewal of agent-of-record agreement with Brown & Brown) was considered separately. The renewal with Brown & Brown for agent-of-record/consultant services was approved; Commissioner Kevin Reed disclosed employment with Brown & Brown and abstained on that item (motion carried with one abstention).
- Old business 1 (Ordinance 2025-09): Second and final reading — ordinance amending the Taylor Ridge Planned Development (1298 South Blue Lake Avenue) to modify tree-mitigation language and adjust the preliminary plat (result: approved, roll call showed five yes votes).
- Old business 2 (Resolution regarding parking for 84 affordable units at 225 West New York Avenue): Resolution approving off-site parking agreement and related conditions (approved 3–2).
- New business 1: Request to continue first reading of zoning change for 7.35 acres on South Woodland Boulevard to the August 18 meeting — motion to continue carried.
- New business 2: Resolution approving proposed millage rate for FY 2025–26 for the purpose of advertising (this action approves advertising the proposed rate; final adoption is scheduled for September) — motion carried.
These actions clear the way for the affordable-housing site to proceed toward final site-plan review and secure the Taylor Ridge PD amendment. The city also recorded the retirement resolution for Mark C. Hayward in the meeting minutes.
