p. 202 Sec. 38-1. State of emergency Florida law already governs emergency powers under F.S. §§ 870.041

City Commission Work Session · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns a potential policy change regarding emergency powers for the City of Winter Park. The city attorney has revised the policy, which is currently under full revision. State law already provides cities with emergency powers, and the policy under review addresses the appointment of "special members" during emergencies. Further changes to this policy would require the adoption of a separate ordinance. This early stage in the policy review process means that related work, such as legal review and potential ordinance drafting, is ongoing. Businesses specializing in legal services and government consulting may find opportunities as the city navigates these policy updates.
