City Commission Agenda Packet 05 26 26
[Susan Street Sports Complex] The City Commission approved the purchase of athlete project items from BSN Sports LLC to support the construction of the Susan Street Sports Complex for $235,855.60. This item was part of the Consent Agenda. [Leesburg Gas Department Building; case IFB 26-011-HG] The City Commission authorized the execution of a Construction Services Agreement with Blackwater Construction Services, LLC for the Leesburg Gas Department Building Improvement project (IFB 26-011-HG). This item was part of the Consent Agenda. [West of County Road 468 and south and east of Lewis Road; case Ordinance 26-15] The City Commission adopted Ordinance 26-15, dissolving the Tara Oaks Community Development District. The district was established in 2021 for funding infrastructure like security, recreation, and parks. The dissolution was requested because the family-owned property was split due to a death, stalling development. The property is located west of County Road 468 and south and east of Lewis Road. The PUD zoning requires the developer to pay for streets and utilities, and the city will not be responsible for maintenance. The developer may need to establish a new CDD when the project resumes. Public comment indicated that while clearing and some rough-cut work has been done, there are no hard assets like roads or pipes on the west side, and gas piping exists but is not connected to the city system and has not been maintained. The dissolution was approved to allow the family to resolve their issues and potentially reestablish a CDD later. [Talladega, Alabama, and Tuskegee area (Carver Heights); case Resolution 12,225] The City Commission adopted Resolution 12,225, authorizing the execution of a Construction Services Agreement with Cathcart Construction Company – Florida, LLC for the Carver Heights Stormwater Improvements project. The project addresses flooding in the Talladega, Alabama, and Tuskegee area, involving a storm water retention pond and swales to redirect water. The contract period is six months. Public comment included discussion about the specific area addressed and the design concept. [South of Dewey Robbins Road and east of Bridges and U.S. Highway 27; case Ordinance 26-16] The City Commission adopted Ordinance 26-16, amending the boundaries of the Grace Groves Community Development District. The original CDD encompassed approximately 730 acres for 1,700 residential units and commercial areas. The amendment reduces the CDD boundary by approximately 40 acres, from 739 to about 690 acres. This adjustment is due to the Florida Department of Transportation acquiring land for roadway improvements and stormwater retention related to Turnpike upgrades. The change realigns the CDD boundaries and does not affect the number of approved residential units or green space requirements. The property is generally located south of Dewey Robbins Road and east of Bridges and U.S. Highway 27. [Palm Harbor Drive Bridge; case Resolution 12,226] The City Commission adopted Resolution 12,226, authorizing the execution of a Task Order with Halff Associates Inc. for Palm Harbor Drive Bridge Rehabilitation and Repair Design Services. The project addresses damage to the head wall, erosion, and drainage issues affecting the seawall, identified by a bridge inspector. Halff Associates is a local bridge design engineer recommended by FDOT. The task order covers the design phase for repairing the bridge. [Cutrale Wastewater Treatment Plant facilities; case Resolution 12,227] The City Commission adopted Resolution 12,227, authorizing the execution of a Task Order with Halff Associates Inc. for the Cutrale Wastewater Treatment Plant Evaluation. The evaluation will determine if the plant's facilities can be repurposed for City use, estimate rehabilitation costs and capacity, and provide a fair market value. This is part of long-term planning for the City's wastewater capacity, which is projected to meet demand until 2035-2040. The study is estimated to cost $70,000 and take approximately 90 days. Public comment expressed concerns about the cost and timing of the evaluation before the property is confirmed for sale, but also acknowledged the potential long-term savings. The evaluation will include comparative cost estimates for adapting the Cutrale facility versus constructing new capacity. [2120 Nicollett Way, Lot 111, Overlook at Lake Griffin; case Resolution 12,228] The City Commission adopted Resolution 12,228, authorizing the execution of a Satisfaction of Mortgage for property located at Lot 111, Overlook at Lake Griffin, 2120 Nicollett Way, owned by Kendria Williams as part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The effective date is May 16, 2026. [case Resolution 12,229] The City Commission adopted Resolution 12,229, accepting a Utility Easement affecting property from Gary and Holly Gray Family Trust, joined by Citizens First Bank. The effective date is not stated. [South of Dewey Robbins Road and east of Bridges and U.S. Highway 27; case Ordinance 26-16] The City Commission adopted Ordinance 26-16, amending the boundaries of the Grace Groves Community Development District. The original CDD encompassed approximately 730 acres for 1,700 residential units and commercial areas. The amendment reduces the CDD boundary by approximately 40 acres, from 739 to about 690 acres. This adjustment is due to the Florida Department of Transportation acquiring land for roadway improvements and stormwater retention related to Turnpike upgrades. The change realigns the CDD boundaries and does not affect the number of approved residential units or green space requirements. The property is generally located south of Dewey Robbins Road and east of Bridges and U.S. Highway 27. [U.S. Highway 441/27 Corridor; case Resolution 55] The City Commission adopted Resolution 55, authorizing the Chairperson and Secretary of the U.S. Highway 441/27 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to execute a resolution approving Fiscal Year 2026 Façade Sign, and Landscape Grant Awards. Commissioner Reisman thanked staff for their work on these grants. [East and west of County Road 33 and south of the Florida Turnpike; case Ordinance 23-58] The City Commission adopted Ordinance 23-58, amending the boundaries for the County Road 33 Community Development District. The expansion will increase the CDD from approximately 441 acres to 1,143 acres, adding the Tierra Vista subdivision and Banning Ranch Phases 3, 4, and 5 to the existing Preservation Place subdivision and Banning Ranch Phases 1 and 2. This expansion consolidates related developments under one CDD managed by the same developer. It does not change approved densities, zoning standards, or development entitlements. The CDD is located east and west of County Road 33 and south of the Florida Turnpike. The next reading is scheduled for June 22nd.

City Commission Agenda Packet 05 11 26
[Palm Harbor Drive Bridge] The City Commission will consider a resolution authorizing the execution of a Task Order with Halff Associates Inc. for Palm Harbor Drive Bridge Rehabilitation and Repair Design Services. The bridge is a critical access point, approximately 45 years old, and shows signs of erosion and structural compromise due to root intrusion and soil instability from adjacent properties and canal banks. The design services will determine if rehabilitation or replacement is the most cost-effective solution. The project cost is not to exceed $63,055.00, to be funded by Gas Tax funds. [case FSA25-VEH23.0] The City Commission will consider a purchase request for one new 2027 Kenworth T880, Cab and Chassis Truck (52,000 lbs., 4x6) from Florida Kenworth, LLC, for $183,385.00, utilizing the Florida Sheriff Association Contract No. FSA25-VEH23.0. This truck will replace an aging dump truck (Unit 349) that has reached the end of its useful service life, aiming to maintain reliable and safe operations for the Public Works Department and reduce recurring maintenance expenditures. [Cutrale Wastewater Treatment Plant] The City Commission will consider a resolution authorizing the execution of a Task Order with Halff Associates Inc. for the evaluation of the Cutrale Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant was formerly used for orange processing wastewater and was taken out of service in 2024. The evaluation will assess the feasibility of repurposing the facility for domestic wastewater treatment, considering system capacity, condition, regulatory compliance, and necessary modifications. The project cost is not to exceed $67,900.00. [2120 Nicollett Way] The City Commission will consider a resolution authorizing the execution of a Satisfaction of Mortgage for property at Lot 111, Overlook at Lake Griffin, 2120 Nicollett Way, owned by Kendria Williams. This action is part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, releasing a subordinate mortgage after a 15-year affordability period concludes on May 16, 2026. The City Commission will consider a resolution accepting a Utility Easement from Gary and Holly Gray Family Trust, joined by Citizens First Bank, affecting the property described in the document. The lender has provided joinder and consent to the easement. [North of Florida Turnpike and east of U.S. Highway 27; case Ordinances 24-33 and 25-67] The City Commission will hold a second reading of an ordinance to amend the boundaries of the Grace Groves Community Development District (CDD). The amendment proposes to contract the CDD's boundaries by approximately 39 acres, reducing the total size from 730.35 acres to 693.66 acres. This contraction is due to a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) purchase of a 39-acre parcel for a stormwater pond to support roadway improvements. This parcel is no longer suitable for residential use and will not be part of the CDD's capital improvement plan. The general location is north of the Florida Turnpike and east of U.S. Highway 27. [County Road 33 area; case Ordinance 23-58] The City Commission will hold a first reading of an ordinance to amend the boundaries of the County Road 33 Community Development District (CDD) for expansion. The ordinance is established pursuant to Ordinance 23-58. [Lake County (unincorporated)] The City Commission will consider a resolution appointing a Lake County (unincorporated) Residential customer to the Leesburg Electric Advisory Board.
