City Commission Agenda Packet

This document is an agenda for a City Commission Work Session on May 28, 2026, focusing on the recodification of the City Code. The primary discussion item is the comprehensive review and proposed revisions to the City Code, which has been ongoing since October 2024. The revisions aim to align the code with current practices and laws, clarify provisions, and eliminate inconsistencies. Several chapters are under review and revision, including Advertising, Communications Systems, Solid Waste, Streets, Utilities, and Waterways. The City Attorney is drafting an ordinance for adoption in June. The document details specific changes within various chapters, often citing legal justifications such as state preemption, constitutional concerns (First Amendment, due process, equal protection), or conflicts with state statutes. Many sections are being deleted, edited, or revised to comply with state law or to remove unenforceable or unconstitutional provisions. For contractors, this means changes in areas like building licensing (removal of local contractor licensing), business taxes, and potentially other areas where code revisions impact operational requirements.

This item concerns a potential policy change regarding emergency powers for the City of Winter Park. The city attorney has revised the policy, which is currently under full revision. State law already provides cities with emergency powers, and the policy under review addresses the appointment of "special members" during emergencies. Further changes to this policy would require the adoption of a separate ordinance. This early stage in the policy review process means that related work, such as legal review and potential ordinance drafting, is ongoing. Businesses specializing in legal services and government consulting may find opportunities as the city navigates these policy updates.

This item concerns a proposed revision to city code regarding code enforcement liens.

This is a planned agenda item under review by the City Commission. The work involves legal review and potential revision of city ordinances. This early stage means opportunities for legal services specializing in municipal code and lien law. Engaging now allows firms to provide input before final decisions are made.
