Week of 2026-10-19
Lantana agendas list town property charter amendments, $152,300 vehicle purchase and a drive-thru hearing
Lantana Town Council agendas from the past two weeks list two proposed charter amendments affecting town-owned real property, the purchase of two 2027 Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles and equipment for up to $152,300, and a quasi-judicial hearing on a drive-thru restaurant at 1500 W Lantana Rd. Agendas were available for all five meeting listings, but minutes had not been published as of Oct. 19, so the records provided show what was scheduled for consideration — not what was decided. No votes, approvals or final outcomes appear in the source material.
Charter amendments on town-owned property
Ordinances O-09-2026 and O-10-2026 address the sale, transfer and long-term lease of town-owned real property. Both appear on the Town Council meeting listings for Oct. 8 and Oct. 12. The Oct. 12 listing describes the items as first readings; the Oct. 8 listing does not specify a reading. Neither ordinance text nor any vote count was included in the records.
Vehicles, water permit and pavement
The same two Council agendas list three contract items:
- Two 2027 Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles and equipment, up to $152,300.
- Engineering services for a water use permit modification from Baxter & Woodman Inc., $48,445.
- Pavement repairs on S Broadway and S 3rd St via M&M Asphalt Maintenance, Inc., $32,115.47.
Each is listed as an item for Council consideration. The records do not show whether any contract was awarded or any amount was paid.
Budget amendment
Resolution R-08-2026, to amend the FY 2025/26 budget, appears on both the Oct. 8 and Oct. 12 Council listings. No dollar figure for the amendment was included in the summaries.
Beach project and code revisions
Workshop Series Meeting #8, listed on both Oct. 8 and Oct. 12 with a near-identical agenda, covers next steps for the Lantana Beach Improvement Project and code enforcement procedures. Also listed: allowed materials and requirements for swale areas, code revisions for special events on private property for businesses, and criteria for naming rights for Town structures and buildings. Workshop items are discussion topics; the records show no action taken.
Drive-thru hearing at 1500 W Lantana Rd
The Oct. 16 Council listing includes a quasi-judicial hearing — a proceeding on a specific application rather than a general policy item — on a special exception request for a restaurant with drive-thru service at 1500 W Lantana Rd, Case #: SE26-0004. The same agenda lists a second reading of Ordinance O-04-2026 to update the 10-Year Water Supply Plan, an appointment to an alternate position on the Planning Commission, and a proposed 2027 Town Council meeting schedule.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings were listed for the next 14 days in the records provided. That absence is not evidence that nothing is scheduled; residents should check the Town's official calendar and posted agendas for dates, times and locations.
A note on the records: the Oct. 8 and Oct. 12 entries carry the same two agendas — a Town Council meeting and Workshop Series Meeting #8 — with minor wording differences. All five listings are marked agenda only, with minutes not yet published.
Week of 2026-10-12
Lantana Council Agendas Take Up Charter Amendments on Town Property, $152,300 Vehicle Purchase
Lantana's Town Council has scheduled discussion of two proposed charter amendments covering the sale, transfer, and long-term lease of town-owned real property, along with a vehicle purchase of up to $152,300 and several infrastructure contracts. All four meetings listed in the past two weeks are agenda-only: no minutes have been published, so the record does not show that any item was voted on, approved, rejected, or otherwise decided.
Charter amendments on town-owned property
Ordinances O-09-2026 and O-10-2026 appear on the Town Council Meeting agendas for both October 8 and October 12. The October 12 agenda describes them as first readings. The summaries state the ordinances concern the sale, transfer, and long-term lease of town-owned properties. Because no minutes are available, the agendas do not establish whether either reading occurred or what the proposed amendment language says.
Vehicles and equipment up to $152,300
Both Town Council Meeting agendas list the purchase of two 2027 Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles and equipment, at an amount up to $152,300. The figure is stated as a ceiling in the agenda summary; the record does not show a final contract value or payment.
Water permit engineering: $48,445
The agendas list engineering services for a water use permit modification from Baxter & Woodman Inc. for $48,445. The October 8 entry describes the item as engineering services; the October 12 entry describes it as a contract for water permit services. Both carry the same dollar figure.
Pavement repairs: $32,115.47
Pavement repairs on S Broadway and S 3rd St through M&M Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. are listed at $32,115.47 on both Town Council Meeting agendas.
Budget amendment
Resolution R-08-2026, to amend the FY 2025/26 budget, appears on both Town Council Meeting agendas. The agendas do not state what the amendment would change or by how much.
Workshop: beach project, code enforcement, naming
A Town Council Workshop Series Meeting #8 is listed for both October 8 and October 12, with identical topic lists. Topics include next steps for the Lantana Beach Improvement Project, code enforcement procedures, allowed materials and requirements for swale areas, code revisions for special events on private property for businesses, and criteria for naming rights for Town structures and buildings. The October 12 summary describes the session as recapping previous discussions on beach improvements and code enforcement. No outcomes are recorded.
What the record does not show
The available material consists of agendas and summaries only. It contains no vote tallies, no motion outcomes, no approved dollar amounts, and no minutes for any of the four meetings. The two Town Council Meeting entries (October 8 and October 12) carry the same item list, and the two workshop entries carry the same topic list; the record does not explain the duplication. Nothing here should be read as a decision by the Council.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days in the information provided. Residents who want to follow these items should check the Town of Lantana's official meeting notices and posted agendas for the next scheduled Town Council or workshop session, and for publication of minutes covering the October 8 and October 12 meetings.
Week of 2026-08-24

Week of 2026-08-03
Lantana Council Tackles Beach Project, Dock Rules, and Zoning Ordinances — But Outcomes Await Published Minutes
Lantana's Town Council had a full slate of meetings in late July, covering the Lantana Beach Improvement Project, nonconforming residential docks, and second readings of three ordinances. However, minutes have not yet been published for any of these sessions, so no decisions, votes, or outcomes can be confirmed from the available record.
Workshop Series Meeting #6: Beach Project, Boat Lifts, and Code Revisions
The council held Workshop Series Meeting #6 on July 23, with a second workshop session listed for July 24. According to the agendas, these were discussion-only meetings with no formal votes expected.
Discussion items included:
- **Administrative Review AR26-0001** — options for nonconforming residential boat lifts.
- **Lantana Beach Improvement Project** — next steps for the project.
- **Illegally constructed dock in South Palm Beach** — council discussion.
- **Code revisions for special events on private property** — for businesses.
- **Naming rights criteria** — for town structures and buildings.
- **Swale materials** — requirements for materials used in swale areas.
- **Code enforcement procedures** — general discussion.
Because minutes are not yet available, it is not possible to report what direction the council gave on any of these items or whether consensus was reached.
Town Council: Ordinances and Special Exception Request
The Town Council had regular meetings scheduled on July 23 and July 27. Both agendas list the same five items:
- **Ordinance O-03-2026** — update to subdivisions and platting procedures for State law compliance.
- **Ordinance O-07-2026** — new definitions and compliance rules for artificial turf installations.
- **Ordinance O-08-2026** — regulations for non-conforming residential docks in C1 Commercial zoning.
- **Case SE26-0001** — special exception request for massage services at 812 W Lantana Rd.
- **Police Department Employee of the Second Quarter Award 2026.**
All three ordinances were listed for second reading, which typically means they were previously introduced and are now up for final consideration. However, without published minutes, no vote tallies or final dispositions can be confirmed.
The special exception request, Case SE26-0001, concerns a business seeking approval to operate massage services at 812 W Lantana Rd. The agenda indicates the council was scheduled to consider this request, but the outcome is not yet on record.
Procedural Meeting on July 27
A separate meeting on July 27, listed under the body name "Test," contained only procedural boilerplate with no specific legislative items, contracts, or hearings listed.
What This Means for Residents
The ordinances on artificial turf, residential docks, and platting procedures could affect property owners and businesses in Lantana if adopted. The Lantana Beach Improvement Project discussion signals ongoing planning for public waterfront infrastructure. The special exception request at 812 W Lantana Rd. could determine whether a new massage service opens at that location. Residents should watch for published minutes to learn how the council acted on each item.
Coming Up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the Town of Lantana's official website for any newly posted agendas or rescheduled sessions.
Week of 2026-07-20
Lantana Council Tackled Zoning, Fee Changes, and $117,819 Water Plant Contract on July Agenda
Lantana's Town Council had a busy stretch in mid-July, with two regular meetings and two budget workshops scheduled between July 9 and July 13. Because minutes have not yet been published for any of these sessions, the items below reflect what was on the agendas — not confirmed outcomes or vote tallies.
Water Treatment Plant Contract
The council agenda included a proposed $117,819 engineering contract with Baxter & Woodman, Inc. for the Water Treatment Plant Clear Well Improvement Project. The contract appeared on both the July 9 and July 13 regular meeting agendas.
Zoning and Land Use Ordinances
Three ordinances were set for first reading at the regular meetings:
- **Ordinance O-03-2026** — Amends Chapter 17.5 on Subdivisions and Platting Regulations to match state law.
- **Ordinance O-07-2026** — Amends Chapter 10.5 on Landscaping to define artificial turf standards, per state law.
- **Ordinance O-08-2026** — Amends Chapter 23 on Zoning to regulate non-conforming residential docks in the C1 Commercial district.
First readings are an early step in the ordinance adoption process; final adoption would require a subsequent vote.
Fees and Charges Schedule
Resolution R-03-2026, on both agendas, would repeal the prior fee schedule (R-07-2025) and adopt an updated Fees and Charges Schedule for municipal services. The agenda describes this as updating fees for current town services.
Budget Process for FY 2026/27
The council held two Budget Workshop #2 sessions — one on July 9 and another on July 13 — both centered on a staff presentation of the draft fiscal year 2026/27 budget. The July 13 agenda noted that no votes or final decisions were scheduled; the workshop was a discussion item with a public comment period.
The regular meeting agendas also included setting the proposed millage rate and scheduling the first public budget hearing for FY 2026/27.
What Residents Should Watch
The zoning ordinances, if adopted, would affect subdivision procedures, artificial turf landscaping rules, and waterfront dock regulations in the C1 district. The fee schedule update would change what residents pay for town services. The budget workshop and millage rate discussion will shape property tax levels and spending for the coming fiscal year.
Coming Up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the town's official agenda postings for any newly scheduled sessions, and watch for published minutes from the July 9 and July 13 meetings to confirm what was actually voted on and approved.
Week of 2026-06-29
Lantana Town Council considers variances, boat dock pact; minutes pending
The Lantana Town Council met June 22 to take up a series of land-use and administrative items, including three variance requests for accessory structures on Julia Heights Drive, an interlocal agreement with Palm Beach for boat dock permits, and the second reading of an ordinance repealing obsolete business tax registration rules. Official minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes of votes on these items are not yet known.
Business tax ordinance repeal
The council held a second reading of Ordinance O‑2026‑06, which would repeal obsolete business tax registration provisions in Chapter 11 of the town code. The first reading was held at an earlier meeting.
Variance requests for accessory structures
Three variance applications (VAR26‑0001, VAR26‑0002, and VAR26‑0003) were on the agenda for a property at 1124 Julia Heights Drive. The requests seek relief from Sections 23‑94 and 23‑81 of the town’s land development code to allow accessory structures that would otherwise exceed size or setback limits.
Interlocal agreement with Palm Beach
The council discussed an interlocal agreement with the Town of Palm Beach that would allow Lantana to issue building permits for boat docks on properties within both municipalities’ jurisdiction. If approved, the arrangement would streamline permitting for waterfront construction.
Surplus property and pension board appointments
Council members were scheduled to designate several specified tangible town‑owned capital assets as surplus municipal property, clearing the way for their disposal. They also considered appointments to the Police Relief and Pension Fund Board of Trustees.
Legislative update
State Representative Debra Tendrich provided a legislative update to the council during the meeting.
Coming up
The town clerk’s office has not listed any upcoming Town Council meetings for the next 14 days. Residents are encouraged to check the town’s official website for any newly scheduled meetings or special sessions.
