City Council Regular Meeting of July 21, 2026
[case Resolution No. 2026-12] The City Council is considering a resolution to suspend the processing of applications for data centers for six months to allow staff to develop requirements, regulations, and processes for their development. This action is in response to concerns about data protection, privacy, cybersecurity, and environmental impacts such as high energy consumption and water use. The city currently has no specific regulations for data centers, which can have significant impacts on infrastructure and surrounding communities. This temporary suspension is a proactive measure to ensure future data center projects are compatible with the city's infrastructure and land use goals. The city is also reviewing potential zoning districts for data centers. [East of Interstate 95 and west of Sheridan Lakes Subdivision; case Resolution No. 2026-13 (Case VAC-2026-01)] The City Council is considering approving the vacation and abandonment of a 20-foot wide by 405-foot long public utility easement on Parcel ID 27-36-34-00-1, located east of Interstate 95 and west of Sheridan Lakes Subdivision. The easement was established in 1994 but is not needed for the proposed development of an industrial warehouse by Frontline Coastal Industrial, as utilities will be extended from Coastal Lane. All affected utility providers have confirmed no existing or planned facilities within the easement and have no objections to its vacation. The easement is located in a developable area of the parcel and unnecessarily restricts the proposed site design. [City of West Melbourne; case Ordinance No. 2026-05] The City Council is considering approving Ordinance No. 2026-05 on second reading, which regulates micromobility devices and e-bikes. The ordinance aims to address concerns about reckless operation on city streets and sidewalks. It establishes definitions, prohibitions, and permitted uses, with specific rules for bicycles, micromobility devices, electric personal assistive mobility devices, and mopeds. Speed limits are set for sidewalks (15 MPH), and specific requirements for lighting, reflectors, helmets (for riders under 16), and operator age/ID (for Class 3 e-bikes) are included. Enforcement will be handled by the police department with a system of fines for violations, including penalties for parents/guardians allowing minors to violate the ordinance. A hearing officer will handle appeals. [City of West Melbourne; case Resolution No. 2026-15] The City Council is considering adopting Resolution No. 2026-15, which authorizes the transition of wastewater collection and treatment operations from being contracted out to being managed in-house through municipal staffing. This change aims to bring these essential services under direct city management. [Compass Point Neighborhood] The City Council is considering authorizing a change order to Insituform Technologies, LLC, through the Omnia Contract, for the second half of the Annual Manhole Rehabilitation project of Sanitary Sewer Manholes in the Compass Point Neighborhood. The change order is in the amount of $72,321.14. [case Ordinance No. 2026-05] Ordinance No. 2026-05, adopted by the City Council of West Melbourne on July 21, 2026, establishes regulations for micromobility devices and e-bikes. The ordinance creates Chapter 54, Article VII of the City Code, defining terms, outlining prohibitions, permitted uses, and enforcement procedures. It addresses concerns about reckless use and speed, particularly on sidewalks, and sets fines for violations. The ordinance aims to provide reasonable regulations for the safety of residents and visitors. It was passed on its second reading on July 21, 2026, following a first reading on June 16, 2026. [Preserve at Heritage Oaks subdivision] The City Council is considering approving a Traffic Enforcement Agreement with the Preserve at Heritage Oaks Subdivision Homeowners Association, Inc. This agreement would authorize the City to exercise traffic control jurisdiction over the private roads within the subdivision. The agreement is for one year and automatically renews unless terminated. The Association is responsible for installing and maintaining traffic control signs and markings. The City Council is being asked to establish a proposed millage rate of 1.7724 per thousand dollars of taxable value for advertising a public hearing on September 9, 2026. This hearing will consider adopting a tentative budget and proposed millage rate for fiscal year 2026-2027. The current millage rate is 1.8151. The proposed rate is a 'rolled-back' rate. The City's taxable value is approximately $3.474 billion. The City Council is considering an application from John Michael McWaters for a vacancy on the Business Advisory Board. McWaters owns a business located within the City of West Melbourne and has a business tax receipt. The Business Advisory Board advises City Council on measures to promote commercial establishments, surveys existing businesses, inventories vacant commercial land, and recommends methods to enhance business activity. [case Resolution No. 2026-15] The City Council is being asked to adopt Resolution No. 2026-15, authorizing the transition of Wastewater Collection and Treatment Operations from a contracted model to in-house management with municipal staffing. This transition is expected to result in annual savings of approximately $600,000. The current contract with Jacobs is set to end on April 30, 2027. The transition will involve creating a Wastewater Department Director position. [Compass Point Neighborhood, including 17 manholes in Compass Point and 1 in Manchester Lakes.] The City Council is being asked to authorize the City Manager to approve a change order to Insituform Technologies, LLC, for the second half of the Annual Manhole Rehabilitation project of Sanitary Sewer Manholes in the Compass Point Neighborhood. The change order is for $72,321.14. Insituform Technologies has been providing lining services for gravity sewer pipes and drainage pipes for 18 years, and now also for manhole lining. The first round of this project, totaling 21 manholes, was completed in April 2026 for $99,461.64. [City of West Melbourne; case Resolution 2026-14] The City Council is being asked to approve Resolution 2026-14, which opts the City out of the Live Local Act's ad valorem tax exemption for newly constructed multifamily developments providing affordable housing. This opt-out is based on findings that the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville MSA has a surplus of affordable and available units. The opt-out is valid for two years, from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2029. This decision will result in an undetermined positive fiscal impact for the city by ensuring developments do not receive the tax exemption. This document is a compilation of data and reports related to Florida's housing market, including supply, new construction, sales, and rental markets, with a focus on affordability and assisted housing. It does not contain specific project proposals for contractors but provides market-level data.

[Norfolk Parkway and Minton Road intersection; Norfolk Parkway and Shallow Creek Boulevard intersection; Norfolk Parkway between Minton Road and western boundary of West Melbourne; case Resolution No. 2026-07] The City of West Melbourne is approving a Norfolk Parkway Improvement Plan, which includes several traffic-related construction projects.

The city's investment in capital assets increased by approximately 14%, with significant construction-in-progress projects including a new water plant. The city issued $54 million in Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2024D, to finance the construction of a water treatment plant. The report also notes a population increase from 18,335 in 2010 to an estimated 32,372 in 2022 and that building permits were issued for 284 homes in fiscal year 2025. There are no specific projects or development proposals detailed that would indicate direct contracting opportunities. This document is a financial statement for the City of West Melbourne, Florida, dated April 21, 2026. It details the city's accounting policies, financial position, and operational funds, including the General Fund, Community Redevelopment Agency Fund, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund, Stormwater Fund, and Water and Sewer Fund. It outlines asset and liability management, investment strategies, and reporting of revenues and expenditures.

The City of West Melbourne has several active construction projects with significant outstanding commitments to contractors totaling $79,259,658 as of September 30, 2025. These include: Sheridan Road-Septic to Sewer ($8,991,305), Design/Build-New Building for Bldg/Code ($4,604,583), Conveyance and Distribution Lines Construction ($5,522,523), Water Treatment Plant - Construction ($45,276,922), Well Site Construction ($4,138,575), and Ray Bullard Water Reclamation Bio-Nutrient Removal ($10,725,750). These projects are financed by governmental and enterprise revenues, debt, and awarded grants. Additionally, on October 21, 2025, City Council approved $4,972,129 for a Community Development building adjacent to City Hall, with construction commencing in February 2026. On October 7, 2025, City Council authorized the acquisition of the approximately 25-acre Schild Property along Minton Road for $3.3 million, finalized on December 23, 2025, as part of the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This document is a financial audit report for the City of West Melbourne, Florida, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. It details tax revenues, other governmental revenues, water and sewer consumption and rates, property tax rates, principal property taxpayers, property tax levies and collections, outstanding debt ratios, direct and overlapping governmental debt, pledged revenue coverage, general bonded debt, legal debt margin, demographic and economic statistics, principal employers, employees by function, operating indicators, and capital asset statistics. The report also includes an independent auditor's report on internal control over financial reporting and compliance, a schedule of findings and questioned costs, and a corrective action plan. Key findings include significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting related to grant revenue cutoff and recording of land donations, and significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance for federal awards related to suspension and debarment verification and reporting accuracy. The City has implemented corrective actions for these findings. The City of West Melbourne has an excess of $528,150 in unexpended building permit funds as of September 30, 2025, exceeding the average operating budget for Florida Building Code enforcement over the previous four fiscal years. This noncompliance with Florida Statutes requires the City to identify methods to reduce these balances, potentially by modifying the 2025-26 budget. Management has reduced the excess balance through operational expenditures and planned capital investment. On October 21, 2025, City Council approved a $5 million Design/Build contract with W&J Construction for a new Community Development building, which will house building code enforcement operations. Groundbreaking for this facility occurred in February 2026. Additionally, an audit adjustment was proposed to reclassify $353,276 from operating expenses to capital assets within the Water and Sewer Fund due to a timing issue with a construction management invoice received after the year-end cutoff. Management will enhance year-end closing procedures to prevent recurrence. The City's calculation of compensated absences liability under GASB Statement 101 was refined, resulting in an audit adjustment to reduce the liability and related expenses by $86,974.

The report confirms the agency complied with local government investment policies and redevelopment trust fund requirements, with one exception regarding budget submission timelines. It also notes that the agency had no employees or independent contractors during the fiscal year and no construction projects with a total cost of at least $65,000 were approved. This document is a draft management representation letter and an audit report for the West Melbourne – Brevard County Joint Community Redevelopment Agency for the year ended September 30, 2025. It details the agency's financial reporting responsibilities, internal controls, and compliance with various statutes. A key finding is that the City is not in compliance with Section 553.80, Florida Statutes, regarding the expenditure of fees collected from building permits, with the unspent portion exceeding the allowed amount. An action plan is in place to address this. The audit report indicates no significant difficulties, disagreements with management, or uncorrected misstatements.
