Milton council approves consent items, ordinances and budget changes in unanimous votes
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Milton City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, several ordinances on board membership and zoning rules, and budget and personnel resolutions. A summary lists each item, motion makers when recorded, and vote outcomes.
The Milton City Council on April 14 approved a slate of consent items, multiple ordinances and several resolutions in unanimous votes.
The council approved the minutes from March 10, 2026, on a motion and second recorded by Councilman Powers and Councilman Powell; the vote was recorded as unanimous by the eight members present. The council then adopted the meeting agenda and a general consent package that included a Juneteenth special‑event permit, relocation of the planning department to city property, Fourth of July fireworks (item 2026‑4011), a business improvement grant for First Presbyterian Church (2026‑4002), an invitation to bid for custodial and janitorial services (2026‑4019), an air‑compressor purchase for the utilities department (2026‑4021), and the purchase of a police cruiser for the Milton Police Department (2026‑3998).
On ordinance business, the council read and advanced or approved multiple items on first and second readings. Items announced by the city attorney included ordinances revising membership and qualification requirements for the Community Improvement Board, the Board of Adjustment, the Historic Preservation Board and the Planning Board, amendments to the traffic and vehicles code (ordinance 5‑26), and a Unified Development Code change to permit marinas in certain plan development projects (ordinance 6‑26). Each ordinance and resolution presented during the meeting was approved as read and recorded as unanimous where votes were taken.
The council also approved resolution 2026‑006 appointing a trustee to the fire pension board and resolution 2026‑007 amending the fiscal year 2026 budget to change estimated revenues and expenditures; resolution 2026‑008 adopted the Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy for hazard preparation.
Why it matters: These approvals finalize routine administrative and land‑use procedures and adjust the city’s fiscal and governance documents. While most votes were unanimous, the changes reconfigure membership rules on several local boards and add a new traffic regulation article that the council placed on first reading.
What’s next: Several zoning and land‑use items will return for additional ordinance readings as required; staff will prepare implementing documents and any required permits.
