1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation

City Council Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is developing its Annual Action Plan for 2026, which outlines planned community development projects and activities. This plan includes funding for public services, housing rehabilitation, and public facilities improvements. Specific projects include the construction of a public restroom at Riverview Park, installation of a commercial freezer, and building renovations for Providence Connects, Inc. Additionally, funds are allocated for homeowner housing rehabilitation to install accessible items for elderly and disabled residents, and for various public services like summer camps and case management for youth. The plan is currently under review as part of the city's civic agenda. This initiative will create opportunities for contractors specializing in site preparation, concrete work, general construction, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting, flooring, and landscaping. Suppliers of building materials and equipment will also find opportunities. Early engagement with the city's planning department is advised to understand project timelines and requirements before formal bidding processes begin.
