Votes at a glance: Dunedin commission schedules election, approves appointments and awards wastewater contract
Summary
At its May 21 meeting the Dunedin City Commission: approved first reading of an ordinance calling the Nov. 3, 2026 municipal election; unanimously approved committee appointments for the Dunedin Golf Club advisory group; and awarded a $922,272.48 contract for lift-station rehabilitation. All roll-call votes were unanimous.
The Dunedin City Commission recorded several unanimous votes on May 21, 2026.
Ordinance calling municipal election The commission held first reading of Ordinance 26-05 calling for a general municipal election on Nov. 3, 2026 to elect commissioners for Seat 2 and Seat 4 and to establish election guidelines under City Charter section 5.04 and relevant Florida statutes. City staff read the ordinance title and answered commissioners’ procedural questions about prior election costs and ballot formatting. Second reading was scheduled for June 18, 2026. The first-reading motion passed unanimously on roll call.
Golf Club Advisory Committee appointments The commission conducted a multi-step nomination and ballot process to fill golf-club membership and nonmember positions on the Dunedin Golf Club Advisory Committee. After commissioners submitted top-three lists and staff tallied ballots, the mayor read the appointments and terms aloud; the commission approved the slate and terms by unanimous roll call. Appointments included both club members (three multi‑year terms, one two‑year term) and nonmember representatives plus alternates (terms varied by assignment).
Wastewater lift-station rehabilitation contract Utilities staff recommended awarding the FY26 wastewater lift-station rehabilitation project (five lift stations) to TLC Diversified (Palmetto, FL) for $922,272.48 via a piggyback on Pinellas County’s contract. Staff described the scope — wet-well relining, pump bases, new piping, guardrails and manhole top reconstruction — and said the funding is budgeted with a $23,000 transfer from operations to cover an increase. Commissioners asked about resilience and hurricane-hardening; staff said many above‑ground electrical and SCADA components had already been elevated in prior projects but that hurricane-hardening is considered when applicable. The contract award passed unanimously.
Consent and calendar The consent agenda (minutes, board and committee appointments and an emergency debris-management services agreement procured via a Largo RFP) was approved without removal or objection. The commission also approved the proposed June 4 meeting agenda and a June 2 workshop update; a Juneteenth proclamation was moved to the June 2 workshop and a senior hall of fame recognition was added to the June 4 agenda.
Votes and outcomes summarized - Ordinance 26-05 (first reading): passed unanimously; second reading scheduled for 06/18/2026. - Egret on Union (financial commitment): $75,000 placeholder approved unanimously (see separate article for details). - Golf Club Advisory Committee appointments: slate approved unanimously. - Lift station rehabilitation contract (TLC Diversified): $922,272.48 awarded unanimously. - Consent agenda: approved unanimously.
All actions above were recorded on the public meeting record; follow-up items (development agreements, contract execution, and calendar details) were directed to city staff for next steps.
