15. Discussion on Volunteer Boards.

City Council Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is reviewing its volunteer boards, including those focused on community redevelopment, planning and zoning, and affordable housing. This review is currently under discussion by the City Council. Potential changes being considered include a code of conduct for board members, appointment and removal processes, attendance standards, and the merging or consolidation of certain boards. Specifically, there is a proposal to consider an ordinance for a charter amendment regarding the consolidation of the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Planning and Zoning Board, with a potential referendum on the November ballot. This review could lead to changes in how these boards operate, their membership terms, and their overall structure. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should monitor these discussions as potential shifts in city governance and planning could influence future projects and opportunities. Engaging early with city staff or relevant departments could provide insight into upcoming needs.
