Brooksville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

South Brooksville redevelopment plan and trust fund head Brooksville's agenda; Oct. 5 outcomes not yet in the record

Brooksville's South Brooksville Community Redevelopment Plan and a trust fund to go with it are moving through the City Council, but the record does not yet show what the council did with them. The council was scheduled to hold a public hearing Oct. 5 on Resolution 2026-20, adopting the City portion of the South Brooksville Community Redevelopment Plan, and a first reading of Ordinance 1026 creating a South Brooksville Community Redevelopment Trust Fund. Minutes from that meeting have not been published. A second reading of Ordinance 1026 is listed on the agenda for the council's Oct. 19 regular meeting.

All three meetings summarized here are agenda-only; no minutes are available for any of them, so this roundup describes what was scheduled, not what was decided.

South Brooksville plan and trust fund

The Oct. 5 regular meeting, set for 7:00 p.m., listed the redevelopment plan hearing and the trust fund ordinance as its main items. The Oct. 19 agenda carries the second reading of Ordinance 1026. The agendas do not state a dollar amount for the trust fund.

Annexation, tree rules and fire code

The Oct. 5 agenda also listed second and final readings on annexation, tree protection and fire code ordinances. The item list identifies Ordinance 1018, modifying landscape and tree protection standards, and two annexation ordinances: Ordinance 1022 for 1445 W. Jefferson St and Ordinance 1021 for a 40-acre City-owned parcel at the William S. Smith Water Reclamation Facility. The fire code ordinance is named in the summary but no ordinance number appears in the item list.

Lien relief and FDOT agreement

Also on the Oct. 5 regular agenda were consideration of code enforcement lien relief at 314 Hendricks and an FDOT license agreement for SR 50A/E. Jefferson Street improvements. Routine items included minutes approval and proclamations.

Workshop: parks and recreation

The council's Oct. 5 workshop, set for 6:30 p.m. in the Joseph E. Johnston III Council Chambers, listed one substantive item: a staff report on Parks and Recreation facility usage and programming. The rest of the agenda was procedural, including citizen input limited to 3 minutes per speaker across two input periods. No ordinances, contracts, public hearings or fee changes were listed.

Planning and Zoning: fireworks and collection bins

The Planning and Zoning Commission met Oct. 14 to take up two proposed ordinances. Ordinance Number 1027 addresses standards and allowable locations for fireworks sales. Ordinance Number 1029 addresses standards and allowable locations for collection bins. No minutes have been published, so the commission's action on either proposal is not established here.

Coming up

The City Council holds its regular meeting Oct. 19. Agenda items include:

• Second reading of Ordinance 1026 creating the South Brooksville Community Redevelopment Trust Fund
• A Cooperative Purchase Agreement with the Florida Sheriff's Association for Tradewinds Power Corp generators using grant funds
• Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Quarterly Budget Amendments
• Appointment of Eric Sangvic to the Brooksville Housing Authority
• The Margaret R. Ghiotto Improvement Award for 68 Irene Street
