Daytona Beach Shores meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Daytona Beach Shores officials eyed budget, city name change, and sewer rates in late July meetings

Daytona Beach Shores officials packed several consequential items onto late-July agendas, including a proposed city name change, the FY 2026-27 budget, and a public hearing on sewer rates. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the meetings, so only the scheduled agenda items can be reported here — not what was ultimately decided.

Code Enforcement Special Magistrate — July 23

The Code Enforcement Special Magistrate was scheduled to hold an advanced hearing for OC 3711, LLC regarding code enforcement case #25-0009 at 3711 S. Atlantic Ave. The agenda also included review of magistrate minutes from May 28, 2026, a notification of items removed from the agenda by city staff, and the swearing in of witnesses. Future magistrate meeting dates were announced for Aug. 13, Sep. 17, and Oct. 15, 2026.

Minutes for this hearing have not yet been published.

City Commission Budget Workshop — July 28

The City Commission held a workshop with a single item of new business: a presentation on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2026-2027. No other items were listed on the agenda.

Minutes for this workshop have not yet been published, so the outcome of the budget discussion is not available.

City Commission Regular Meeting — July 28

The City Commission agenda included several notable items:

• **Ordinance 2026-09** — A proposed charter amendment to change the city's name to "The Shores."
• **Resolution 2026-09** — The proposed millage rate for FY 26-27.
• **Resolution 2026-10** — A public hearing on FY 2026-27 sewer rates.
• **Team Volusia 2026-27 Cooperative Agreement** — Listed for discussion or action.
• **Selection of a firm to provide Audit Services** — Listed for discussion or action.

Because minutes have not yet been published, it is not possible to report whether any of these items were voted on, tabled, or approved. No vote tallies or dollar amounts beyond those listed above appear in the available agenda materials.

What this means for residents

The proposed name change, millage rate, and sewer rate hearing all directly affect residents — a new city name would change official branding and correspondence, the millage rate determines property taxes, and sewer rates affect monthly utility bills. Residents who want to know the outcomes should watch for the published minutes or contact City Hall.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days (through Aug. 17, 2026) in the materials provided. The Code Enforcement Special Magistrate has announced its next meeting for Aug. 13, 2026, which falls within that window, but it was not included in the upcoming-meetings list supplied for this report.

Daytona Beach Shores roundup: City name change, annexation, and HVAC contract on July 7 agenda; ULI economic study workshop follows

Daytona Beach Shores residents had a busy two weeks of city meetings, with a July 7 City Commission agenda covering a proposed city name change, a land development code amendment, a voluntary annexation, and a public safety infrastructure contract. A July 17 workshop followed with a presentation on an economic development study. Minutes for all three recent meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes cannot be confirmed from the available record.

City Commission — July 7, 2026

The City Commission agenda listed several new business items. Because minutes are not yet available, the following items reflect what was scheduled for consideration, not confirmed decisions.

Ordinance 2026-05 — A Land Development Code amendment regarding A-Frame signs. This item concerns the rules governing a specific type of signage in the city.

Ordinance 2026-06 — Voluntary annexation of 3108 Liberty Street. Annexation would bring the listed property into the city's municipal boundaries if approved.

Ordinance 2026-09 — A proposal to change the city name to "The Shores." No details on the rationale or process for the name change were included in the agenda summary.

RFP 2026-04-03 — Public Safety HVAC Replacement Project — The agenda listed an award of this request-for-proposals to Air Mechanical & Service Corp. The project involves replacing HVAC equipment at a public safety facility. The dollar amount of the contract was not included in the available data.

The same meeting included scheduled time slots for presentations or discussions with three accounting firms: Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC at 5:00 p.m.; James Moore & Co. at 5:20 p.m.; and Mauldin & Jenkins LLC at 5:40 p.m.

Economic Development Workshop — July 17, 2026

The City Commission held a workshop featuring a presentation from the Urban Land Institute Technical Assistance Panel on an economic development study. No formal decisions were scheduled; the agenda describes this as a discussion-only item.

What residents should know

The proposed city name change to "The Shores" and the voluntary annexation of 3108 Liberty Street are the items most likely to affect residents directly if adopted. The Public Safety HVAC Replacement Project award, if confirmed, involves city spending on critical infrastructure. Residents should watch for published minutes to learn what was actually decided on July 7.
