June 1, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-06-01 · minutes
The document is a regular meeting agenda and minutes for the Destin City Council meeting on June 1, 2026. It contains no specific development project applications, site plans, or zoning changes. The only ordinance discussed (Ordinance 26-06-LC) is a renumbering and renaming of existing land development code articles, not a change in zoning or use for a specific property. The meeting included public comments on various topics, including a proposal to replace the Fourth of July fireworks with a drone show, concerns about pedestrian safety, drainage issues, and conditions at Crab Island. The Council voted to approve the consent agenda, approve the second reading of Ordinance 26-06-LC, impose liquidated damages on a utility undergrounding contractor, and hire part-time deputies for parking enforcement at Norriego Point. No address, parcel, acreage, or case number for a development project is stated.
