Lobbyist reports $500,000 stormwater grant and $237,500 for community center; commission extends lobbying contract
Summary
Lobbyist Jordan Connors briefed Pembroke Park on the state budget: $500,000 for Park Road South stormwater work and $237,500 for a multi‑use community center. The commission consented to extend Connors's contract through the fiscal year to align with other contractors.
The commission voted to extend the town’s lobbying contract through the end of the fiscal year and received a legislative update from Jordan Connors, who represents the town in Tallahassee.
Connors said state budget actions included the town’s priorities: "The Park Road South stormwater improvement for $500,000 is in the budget, and also the multi use community wide service center got half funding at 237,500," he told the commission. He cautioned the board the budget still must clear the governor’s veto process and said a special session on property‑tax reform was scheduled for June 1–3.
Staff recommended extending Connors’s contract through Sept. 30 so the lobbying schedule aligns with other contractors; commissioners placed the extension on consent. Commissioners thanked Connors and town representatives who went to Tallahassee to advocate for the funding.
