The Daytona Beach City Commission on Nov. 20 approved an emergency ordinance to raise the city's maximum Florida Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan for lead service‑line inventory and replacement from $1,693,115 to $6,262,427.
Hardie Smith, the city's government relations administrator, read the ordinance language during the public hearing and commissioners moved to approve the measure. Commissioner Reid moved the ordinance and Commissioner May seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.

No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing, and commissioners did not request further staff reports before approving the action. City staff will proceed with the loan process and implement budget amendments as authorized by the ordinance.
The commission recorded the vote as "motion carries 6‑0." The ordinance text references state revolving fund authority and related budget adjustments; staff noted the measure includes severability and an effective date.
