1. 26-27 Budget Template HR_Final 6_15_26
The City of Palatka is reviewing its budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes operational changes and goals for the Human Resources and Code Compliance departments. The Human Resources department plans to focus on recruitment, retention, compensation reviews, and policy updates. The Code Compliance Department is continuing its 'Blight to Bright' initiative, which involves demolishing blighted properties and addressing safety hazards. This review process is currently under consideration as part of the city's budget workshop. The work initiated by these departments could involve services related to administrative support, file management, and potentially site clearing and demolition for blight remediation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage with city officials early in this planning phase to understand potential future needs and opportunities before formal bids and permits are established.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Palatka is implementing a new state-mandated budget transparency and public engagement process. This initiative requires the City Commission to publicly model a 10% budget cut annually, starting with the FY2028 budget cycle. The process involves designing and establishing new procedures for this annual exercise. Additionally, the city must post standardized budget data in a specific format for six years, provide quarterly employee compensation summaries, publish a budget development calendar by January 30 each year, and extend the online posting period for tentative and final budgets. This will involve administrative tasks for city staff and a new annual public workshop for the Commission. The project's scope includes developing new reporting formats, establishing online posting protocols, and creating the framework for the annual budget cut modeling. Local businesses in areas such as IT services, administrative support, and professional consulting could find opportunities in helping the city develop and implement these new processes. Early engagement could provide an advantage as the city establishes its new procedures.

3. EFFECTIVE DATE & TIMELINE
The City of Palatka is reviewing a new state law that will affect its budget development and impact fee processes starting in 2027. This law requires changes to how the city plans its budgets, including a 10% reduction exercise and a six-year budget posting format, which will first apply to the FY2028 budget cycle. Additionally, new requirements for impact fees adopted or increased after July 1, 2026, must be reviewed for compliance. The city is preparing for these changes, with the first hard deadline for budget development calendar submission on January 30, 2027. This process will involve reviewing financial planning, legal compliance, and potentially updating administrative procedures related to budgeting and fee structures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as financial consulting, legal services, and administrative support may find opportunities as the city adapts to these new state mandates. Engaging early could provide an advantage before specific plans and bids are finalized.

5. IMPACTS TO PALATKA
The City of Palatka is planning new operational procedures for its budget development process. This involves creating a standardized six-year budget posting package, developing and maintaining a budget calendar, and preparing materials for a 10% budget reduction exercise. New web-posting requirements with specific retention periods and a quarterly compensation report for all employees will also be implemented. These changes are planned to take effect starting January 1, 2027, with the first budget development calendar due January 30, 2027. The project will require internal process development before the end of 2026. This initiative will likely involve significant staff time and system updates. Local contractors, IT service providers, and administrative support services may find opportunities as the city establishes these new procedures and reporting requirements.

H. Impact / mobility fees — applies only if the City charges them [ss. 163.3180, 163.31801]
This item concerns potential changes to impact and mobility fees for future development within the City of Palatka. The City Commission is holding a budget workshop to discuss these fees, which would apply to projects if the City decides to charge them. New or increased fees adopted after July 1, 2026, must be based on a study using recent local data and may be phased in over several years. The city must provide 90 days' notice before new or increased fees take effect. This discussion is currently planned and under review, representing an early stage in the public process. While no specific construction project is detailed, any future development requiring these fees could involve site preparation, utility work, and vertical construction. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor these fee discussions, as changes could impact the cost of future development projects. Early awareness allows businesses to prepare for potential shifts in project economics.
