[case 26-594] City Council will consider approving a grant request of up to $5,500 for Canopy Restoration, Inc., for tree planting to restore the city's tree canopy. The Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) recommended approval, with a vote of 4-0 (one member abstaining due to affiliation with Canopy Restoration, Inc.). The funds will be used for trees and irrigation in rights-of-way or city parks. The project aligns with City Code Sec. 12-6-10(c)(2). [Bayfront Parkway; case 26-607] City Council will consider adopting Supplemental Budget Resolution No. 2026-19 to re-appropriate unencumbered carryforward allocations for the Urban Core and Eastside CRA for the Bayfront Trail Improvement Project. This action supports the City's Strategic Plan and the 2025 Urban Core Redevelopment Plan. The resolution reallocates $15,000 from the Hashtag/Waterfront Development project to the Bayfront Trail Improvement project to fund community input into landscape and amenity improvements for the Bayfront Parkway Sun-Trail multiuse path. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approved the reallocations on May 11, 2026. [2907 East Blount Street; case 26-617] City Council will consider adopting Proposed Ordinance No. 6-26 on second reading, which will close, abandon, and vacate an unimproved portion of an alleyway at 2907 East Blount Street. This follows a public hearing on May 14, 2026, where no public input was received. The Planning Board had previously considered the final aesthetic review for this location. [50 S. 9th Ave.; case 26-644] City Council will consider remanding Planning Board Case No. 26-468, concerning the final aesthetic review for 50 S. 9th Ave., back to the Planning Board. This action is stipulated by the interested parties, including the petitioners Paul and Claudia Tamburro, to avoid a City Council appeal hearing. The Planning Board had initially approved the project on April 14, 2026. [case 26-553] City Council will consider approving funding of $500 for Warrington Youth Sports from the City Council Discretionary Funds for District 7. Warrington Youth Sports provides sports for children aged 4-14 and is holding a 'Stop the Gun Violence Football Camp' on July 18, 2026, at Escambia High School for youth aged 5-18. The funding will help offset costs for this event.
