This document is the agenda packet for the City of Mount Dora City Council Regular Session on August 4, 2026. It contains multiple items, including board appointments, presentations, consent agenda items, and action items. No specific development project with a street address, parcel, size, or zoning change is described. The action items include approval of an interlocal agreement for repayment of a Capital Improvement Note, ratification of extensions of a local state of emergency, and approval of meeting minutes. The document does not state any decisions made at the meeting, as it is an agenda. [1995 North Donnelly Street, Mount Dora, Florida 32757 (W.T. Bland Public Library)] The document is a City Council agenda packet for Mount Dora, Florida, containing multiple items. The primary actionable project is the Simpson Farmhouse Expansion Project Phase I, which is a request for approval of civil engineering and design plans and an interlocal agreement with Lake County for up to $50,000 in Library Impact Fee funding. The project is located at the W.T. Bland Public Library, 1995 North Donnelly Street, Mount Dora, Florida 32757. Phase I is limited to engineering and design for site, parking, access, pedestrian, stormwater, utility, and landscape improvements. The total Phase I engineering and design proposal is $146,400, with the County award reimbursing up to $50,000, leaving an estimated City share of $96,400. The Lake County Library Advisory Board recommended the funding request on May 21, 2026. The Lake County Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to consider the Agreement in September 2026. The document also includes minutes from a July 21, 2026 City Council meeting, which include a failed motion to adopt Resolution No. 2026-08 establishing a maximum millage rate of 6.5000 mills, followed by a passed motion to adopt the resolution amended to 6.3000 mills. Public comment at that meeting included Josh Hemingway speaking against the higher maximum millage rate. The document also includes a request for approval of Amendment 2 to the Agreement for All-Requirements Purchase and Sale of Electric Energy with Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), which extends the agreement for one year beginning in 2028 with possible mutual extensions for two additional years, and increases the wholesale demand rate. [case Project Number: 2026-11 CRA; Contract Number: 2026-11 CRA] The document is part of the August 4, 2026 City Council Regular Session Agenda Packet for the City of Mount Dora. It contains three items: 1) A request for City Council approval of Amendment 2 to the Agreement for All-Requirements Purchase and Sale of Electric Energy and Capacity with Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC). The amendment extends the existing agreement for Fiscal Years 2028 through 2030. Staff estimates that extending the agreement will avoid approximately $762,000 in wholesale power costs compared to procuring power under current market conditions. The recommendation is for City Council to approve the amendment and authorize the Mayor to execute it. 2) A request for approval of a task authorization with Faden Builders, Inc. for the Downtown One-Way Street Conversion Project. The project will implement roadway, signage, pavement-marking and related improvements for the planned conversion of designated downtown streets to one-way traffic. The task authorization has a gross maximum price and not-to-exceed amount of $118,220. The work includes milling and asphalt improvements on Alexander Street, installation, relocation and removal of traffic signage, and thermoplastic crosswalk, stop-line and lane markings. The recommendation is for City Council approval of the task authorization in an amount not to exceed $118,220. 3) An informational item regarding the annual review of the City's Code of Ordinances. The City Clerk and City Attorney have completed the annual review, and the City Attorney will present the results during the August 4, 2026, City Council meeting. No formal City Council action is required.
