E. Resolution 26-07 Amending Thrift Plan

This item concerns Resolution 26-07, which amends the City of Destin's current Thrift Savings Plan. The amendment will close the plan to new participants, give full vesting to employees enrolled by January 1, 2026, and allow about 20 current participants to continue with city matching contributions. This action is the next step in the plan's evolution, with more changes expected later. The resolution has been approved by the City Council. This item does not involve construction or direct services for contractors, suppliers, or trades. Future updates to the plan may create opportunities, but no immediate work is being set in motion by this specific resolution.

I. BACKGROUND: Every seven years, Florida Statutes Section 163.3191, require local

The City of Destin is undertaking a required review and amendment process for its Comprehensive Plan, known as the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). This process is mandated by Florida Statutes every seven years to align the plan with state laws and local changes. The city submitted its initial notification letter on April 16, 2026, and must send proposed amendments to the Department of Florida Commerce by May 16, 2027. This early stage means the city is in the planning and review phase for potential future updates to its land use and development regulations. While no specific construction projects are detailed, this process could eventually lead to new development opportunities. Businesses involved in engineering, land surveying, legal services, and consulting related to planning and development may find opportunities to engage with the city as these amendments are developed and implemented. Early involvement can provide insight into future regulatory landscapes and potential project pipelines.

The City of Destin is considering a proposal from the Destin Parks Foundation to help fund an upcoming America 250 July 4th Extra Fireworks project.
