Maitland Council Tackles Millage Rate, Clean Water Plan in Busy Budget Stretch

Maitland's City Council has spent the past two weeks focused on the city's next budget, with a July 27 meeting scheduled to include a decision on the proposed millage rate and a public hearing on a clean water facility plan. Minutes for all recent meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet available.

July 27: Millage Rate, Clean Water Project, and Consent Items

The July 27 City Council meeting was set to include a decision on the proposed millage rate — the property tax rate that directly affects what residents pay. The agenda also listed a public hearing on Resolution No. 8-2026 for the Clean Water Project Facility Plan.

The consent agenda for that meeting covered several items:

• Resolution No. 11-2026: FDOT SFGA Grant 457000-1-54-01 for traffic signal hardening
• Amendment 1 to a Professional Services Agreement for Independence Lane North with CPH, Inc.
• An interlocal agreement amendment
• Sanitary sewer lateral installation by Cathcart Construction Company
• A mid-year budget request for the Art & History Museums of Maitland

Because minutes have not yet been published, the vote tallies and final outcomes for these items are not yet confirmed in the public record.

July 20–21: Budget Workshops Begin

The Council held two budget workshops in the week prior. On July 20, members reviewed the FY 2027 General Fund Budget Draft. No formal decisions were listed on that agenda.

On July 21, the Council continued budget review with presentations on funding requests from two city-affiliated institutions: the Maitland Public Library and the Art & History Museums of Maitland. Both sessions were workshops, meaning they were designed for discussion rather than formal votes.

These workshops are part of the annual process where the Council reviews department and program requests before setting the budget for the fiscal year that begins October 1.

Coming Up

Two meetings are scheduled in the next two weeks:

• **City Council FY 2027 Budget Workshop — Monday, Aug. 3:** The Council will review budget presentations for several city funds, including the Community Redevelopment Agency Trust Fund, Stormwater Environmental Utility Fund, Solid Waste Fund, Miscellaneous Funds, and Water & Wastewater Fund. No formal decisions are listed.

• **Planning & Zoning Commission — Thursday, Aug. 6:** The commission will hold two public hearings: proposed revisions to the Downtown Maitland Zoning District for small lot development, and CDP Amendment CDP(2026)-0002 for the Maitland Concourse North site, Lot 1. A public comment period is scheduled before the hearings.

Residents who want to follow the budget process or weigh in on downtown zoning changes may want to attend these sessions. Agendas are available through the city's official meeting portal.
