9. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
The Butterfly Trail Project is currently under review and has received a recommendation for annexation to the City Commission. This project involves properties that are subject to a restriction on annexation within 100 days of a primary election. Given the August 18, 2026 primary election, the project's potential final approval date is expected to be at the end of 2026 or early 2027. Discussions are ongoing regarding the issuance of a Local Development Order (LDO) and site permits before the annexation is finalized. This process could involve site clearing, grading, utility work, and potentially road construction, depending on the final LDO conditions. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this project are encouraged to engage early to understand the evolving scope and potential timelines before final bids and permits are issued.
