No vote tallies or dollar amounts were available in the agenda materials provided.

Recent budget and millage workshop outcomes not yet published

The City Commission held a July 21 workshop to discuss the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget, with a special meeting tentatively scheduled to follow. The special meeting agenda listed establishment of the millage rate for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 TRIM notice, establishment of a board for a Realtor Services RFP, and three equipment purchases:

• 2026 John Deere Gator TX Model 56A9M-1M04X2XDLTM213246
• Attachment Rear Hydraulic and Rahn Horizontal Base Unit Lip Broom
• Toro Sand Pro 3040 16hp Briggs Vanguard

Minutes for both the workshop and special meeting had not been published as of this report, so no decisions, votes, or adopted millage rate can be confirmed from the available record.

Planning and Zoning Board reviewed Kimbrough ordinances

The Planning and Zoning Board met July 27 to review Ordinance #1185, a future land use change for the Kimbrough property, and Ordinance #1186, a zoning change for the same property. Minutes for that meeting had not been published as of this report, so the board's recommendations could not be confirmed.

Coming up

• **Aug. 4 — City Commission:** Public hearings on Waste Pro and Kimbrough land use and zoning ordinances, plus Dogwood Street property acquisition, recreation fee increases, and Airport Engineering Design RFQ #2026-7.

Residents seeking confirmed outcomes from the July 21 workshop, July 21 special meeting, and July 27 Planning and Zoning Board meeting should watch for published minutes, which were not available at the time of this report.

Marianna boards set agenda on Waste Pro zoning, Cottondale Lofts, utilities attorney

What happened

No meeting minutes have been published for the three most recent Marianna government gatherings, so outcomes and vote tallies are not yet available. The records below reflect what was scheduled for discussion or action, not what was decided. Residents should watch for posted minutes to confirm any final votes.

Planning and Zoning Board — June 29

The Planning and Zoning Board had an agenda listing approval of June 2026 minutes, discussion of the Cottondale Lofts development, and consideration of two ordinances tied to Waste Pro:

• Ordinance #1182: a Future Land Use Change for Waste Pro
• Ordinance #1183: a Zoning Change for Waste Pro

Because minutes have not been published, it is not known whether the board voted on the ordinances or on the Cottondale Lofts item.

City Commission special meeting — June 29

The Marianna City Commission held a special meeting with two listed items: Independence Day office closures and the engagement of a utilities attorney. According to the agenda summary, the utilities attorney item was added to the agenda during the meeting itself.

No minutes are available, so it is unclear whether the commission voted to hire the attorney or only discussed the matter.

City Commission — July 7

The City Commission's July 7 agenda included public hearings on the Waste Pro land use and zoning changes and a review of a development order for Cottondale Lofts. The agenda also listed several other items:

• Ordinances #1182 and #1183: Future Land Use and Zoning changes for Waste Pro
• Major Development Order for Cottondale Lofts
• FDOT South Street Sidewalk Project construction agreement, tied to Resolution 2026-17
• Purchase of hardware and equipment for the new Public Safety Building
• St Luke Special Category Historical Preservation Grant application

The agenda summary also noted numerous grant amendments and change orders for citywide water, wastewater, and stormwater resiliency projects. Specific dollar amounts were not included in the available agenda summary.

Minutes for this meeting have not been published, so no vote tallies or final actions can be reported.

Why it matters

The Waste Pro ordinances and the Cottondale Lofts development order could affect land use and development patterns in Marianna. The utilities attorney discussion may signal how the city approaches legal matters tied to utility services. The sidewalk project, Public Safety Building equipment purchase, and St Luke preservation grant each touch city spending or infrastructure.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the City of Marianna's official postings for any newly scheduled meetings or publication of minutes from the June 29 and July 7 sessions.
