An Ordinance of the City of Venice, Florida, Amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 46, Parks and Recreation, Article I, In General, by Amending Section 46-1, Description of City Parks System; Authorized Uses; Providing for Repeal of All Ordinances in Conflict Herewith; Providing for Severability; and Providing an Effective Date
The City Council of Venice, Florida, is reviewing Ordinance No. 2026-30, which would amend Chapter 46 of the City's Code of Ordinances, specifically Section 46-1, which describes the City's parks system and authorized uses. This is a pending ordinance, meaning it is under review and has not yet been approved. The item is a legal and administrative action to update the official description of the city parks system. This project would set in motion a review of park descriptions and uses, potentially leading to changes in how parks are managed and used. The scope of work is primarily administrative and legal, involving the drafting and adoption of the ordinance language. For local businesses, the opportunity is limited to legal services for those who specialize in municipal law and land use. Reaching out early to the City Council or city staff could be advantageous for legal professionals who want to be informed about the ordinance's implications for park-related projects.

An Ordinance of the City of Venice, Florida, Amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 87, Land Development Code, by Amending Section 1.2.E.1. Mailed Notice Requirements and Section 1.2.F. Neighborhood Workshop, Pursuant to Text Amendment Petition No. 26-32AM, by Extending the Required Distance for Mailed Notices from 250 Feet to 500 Feet, and Requiring Neighborhood Workshops to be Held in Person with an Optional Online Component; Providing for Repeal of All Ordinances in Conflict Herewith; Providing for Severability; and Providing an Effective Date
The City Council of Venice is considering an ordinance that would change the city's Land Development Code. This change would affect how the city communicates with residents about development projects. Specifically, the ordinance would extend the required distance for mailed notices about development applications from 250 feet to 500 feet. It would also require neighborhood workshops to be held in person, with an optional online component. This item is currently pending review by the City Council. If approved, this change would set in motion a need for services related to public outreach and communication. Local businesses that provide mailing services, public engagement consulting, and virtual meeting technology could find new opportunities. Reaching out to the city early, before the ordinance is finalized, would allow these businesses to understand the potential requirements and position themselves to offer their services.

Authorize the Mayor to Execute the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) General Appropriations Grant for $500,000 for the Utilities Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Production Enhancement Project
The City Council of Venice is considering a contract that would authorize the Mayor to accept a $500,000 grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). This grant is for the Utilities Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Production Enhancement Project. The project is currently pending review and has not been approved or started. The scope of work involves enhancing the water treatment plant's reverse osmosis membrane production, which is a key part of the city's water supply system. This project would likely involve specialized engineering, equipment supply, and installation work related to water treatment infrastructure. The work would likely be phased, starting with planning and design, followed by equipment procurement and installation, and finally testing and commissioning. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in water treatment, engineering, and construction should reach out early to learn about potential opportunities, as the project is still in the early stages before bids and permits are finalized.
