Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-121 Adopting the Tentative  
Millage for Fiscal Year 2025 - 2026.  
Per Florida Statute Section 200.065, the City Commission shall adopt  
a tentative millage rate prior to the adoption of a tentative budget and  
shall otherwise comply with the controlling provisions of the law.  
Background:

for operating purposes within the City as $5,671,597,678 and certified  
a rolled-back rate  
of $6.5494 per $1,000 of taxable value for the City of Deltona. The City  
Commission deems it necessary to levy and does hereby levy a  
tentative tax of $6.7500 mills upon all real and personal property within  
the City for operational purposes. The operating levy of $6.7500 per  
$1,000 represents a 3.06% increase from the rolled-back rate of  
$6.5494 per $1,000 of taxable value. The tentative operating millage for  
Fiscal Year 2025-2026 would provide a tentative budget of  
$36,369,120 at 95% in ad valorem proceeds.  
B.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-122 Adopting the Tentative  
Budget for FY 2025 – 2026.  
This is a request for the City Commission to approve the tentative  
budget for Fiscal Year 2025 - 2026.  
Background:  
The Southwest Deltona CRA budget was approved on August 25,  
2025, and submitted to the City of Deltona for inclusion in the City’s  
budget.  
The City Commission of the City of Deltona has complied with all  
requirements and procedures of Florida law in processing this  
resolution. The City Commission pursuant to the Charter of the City of  
Deltona and Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, does hereby adopt the  
tentative General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service, Capital

8. CONSENT AGENDA:  
A.  
Request for approval of minutes of the Executive Session and the Regular  
Commission Meeting of August 18, 2025, as presented.  
N/A  
Background:  
B.  
Request for approval to increase purchase order for Trane Mechanical services  
by $20,000.  
The current purchase order for HVAC maintenance is $20,000. Due to  
multiple compressor failures on the roof top units (RTU’s)the purchase  
order needs to be increased by an additional $20,000 which is over the  
$25,000 threshold for City Manager approval.  
Background:  
The City Commission approved Resolution No. 2025-29, the  
Purchasing Policy in March 2025. The City Manager per the  
Purchasing Policy was granted authority to approve as it is budgeted  
for goods and services and is an exempt item from solicitation due to  
this being a commodities or contractual services competitively bid and  
awarded by another governmental agencies using the same terms and  
conditions, and prices and is considered economically advantageous  
to the City. The City Commission by consensus on June 23, 2025,  
directed that all items $25,000 or greater be brought back before the  
City Commission for approval.  
C.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-114 for Triangle Lightning  
Protection located in Eustis, FL - a contract to provide lightning protection at  
the Saxon Water Plant in the amount $59,708.00. This project was approved in  
the FY 24/25 budget for $60,000.00  
The Saxon Water Plant is one of the highest elevation points in the City  
of Deltona. Historically this plant has had numerous direct lightning  
strikes creating issues with and destroying sensitive and expensive  
monitoring equipment. In order to mitigate downtime of the plant and  
costly repairs, the recommendation has been to upgrade the  
deteriorated grounds and lightning protection. This item was budgeted  
in FY 24/25 for $60,000.00, with an actual cost of $59,708.00. This item  
was broadcast on Quotewire on 6/11/25 to 98 vendors, 3 vendors  
viewed the item, no vendors submitted bids. Triangle Lightning  
Protection was originally contacted back in July of 2023 at which time  
they provided a budgetary quote. The quote was updated and the 2023  
pricing was honored in May of 2025.  
Background:  
This item was approved in the FY24/25 budget in the amount of  
$60,000.00. A PO was requested in June 2025, however it did not  
complete the internal approval process before the June 23, 2025,  
Commission meeting. At that meeting, the City Commission rescinded  
the recently adopted purchasing policy, thereby reinstating the  
requirement that all purchase orders exceeding $25,000 be brought  
before the Commission for approval.  
D.  
Request approval to proceed with a Purchase Order for the procurement of a  
replacement UPS for City Hall to handle the network and server infrastructure  
with Unified Power based on pricing from bids from multiple municipalities.  
The City Hall UPS that protects and provides redundancy for City Hall IT  
infrastructure is 15 years old. It has reached its end of life and is  
experiencing functionality problems and runtime issues that need to be  
addressed with a replacement. The IT department budgeted for a  
replacement in the FY 2025 budget under capital with an estimated  
maximum of $40,000.  
Background:  
The City has chosen to utilize Unified Power to replace our existing  
UPS with model that provides more functionality for redundancy and  
resiliency, as well as a longer runtime. With the assistance of  
cooperative agreements with other municipalities they have come  
under budget at $29,972.33. We are utilizing Seminole County’s  
RFP-603794-20 for pricing. As lightning and electrical surges continue  
to be a real threat to City infrastructure, the IT department is  
recommending the procurement of the replacement UPS for the City  
Hall building.  
E.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-109, for the installation of a  
replacement roof at Station 65.  
Fire Station 65 currently has its original roof from when the station was  
built in 2011. Over time, the roof has experienced age-related wear and  
deterioration, resulting in frequent maintenance issues. To address  
these concerns and extend the life of the facility, staff initiated the  
process for a full roof replacement.  
Background:  
A metal roof was selected for its durability, resistance to Florida’s harsh  
weather conditions, and lower long-term maintenance costs compared  
to traditional shingle roofs.  
Staff solicited bids for the roof replacement, and ten bids were  
received. A bid tabulation is attached for review. The lowest bid was for  
$112,455 and the funds being used for this purchase are in the current  
operational budget.  
F.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-118 for the purchase of  
replacement firefighting gear that is PFAS-free.  
Cancer is a leading cause of death for firefighters and the fire  
department over the years has made major efforts in limiting  
Background:  
firefighters’ exposure to carcinogens in an effort to prevent cancer. This  
purchase of $372,440.93 will serve to replace all of our front-line bunker  
gear with PFAS-free gear. PFAS-free gear refers to protective clothing,  
including firefighter gear, that does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl  
substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals". These  
chemicals, historically used for water and stain resistance as well as  
heat resistance, have been linked to various health issues, including  
cancer. Replacing our current bunker gear with PFAS-free alternatives  
is now both a health imperative and a legal requirement in Florida.  
With the passage of H.B.ꢀ929 in 2025, the state mandates that all  
firefighter gear must be PFAS-free while still meeting or exceeding  
NFPA standards. Certified PFAS-free options are available, and  
transitioning now ensures compliance with Florida law, that we stay  
ahead of regulatory changes, and that we protect our firefighters.  
Funds being used for this purchase are in the current operational  
budget; we are requesting Commission approval to proceed with the  
use of those funds in the amount of $372,440.93.  
G.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-120 for the purchase of  
replacement firefighting hose.  
The hose currently in use across multiple fire apparatus is in various  
stages of aging and wear, with several sections exceeding the 10-year  
service life recommended by NFPA standards. This replacement is  
part of an ongoing effort to stay in compliance with NFPA  
Background:  
recommendations, which are in place to reduce the risk of catastrophic  
hose failure. Such failures can result in serious injury to personnel and  
compromise fire suppression efforts due to loss of water supply.  
The City Commission approved Resolution No. 2025-29, the  
Purchasing Policy in March 2025. The City Manager per the  
Purchasing Policy was granted authority to approve as it is budgeted  
for goods and services and is an exempt item from solicitation due to  
this being a commodities or contractual services competitively bid and  
awarded by another governmental agencies using the same terms and  
conditions, and prices and is considered economically advantageous  
to the City. The City Commission by consensus on June 23, 2025,  
directed that all items $25,000 or greater be brought back before the  
City Commission for approval. Funds being used for this purchase are  
in the current operational budget; we are requesting Commission  
approval to proceed with the use of those funds in the amount of  
$51,172.  
H.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-119, an Amendment to Rhode  
Island Avenue Feasibility Study PO#00250796  
On June 11, 2025, PO#00250796 was issued to Lassiter  
Transportation Group (LTG) in the amount of $59,165 under the  
Continuing Services Contract for the Rhode Island Avenue Feasibility  
Study. The original scope included traffic engineering and  
transportation services. The original meeting scope included a meeting  
with the City Commission, but it did not include a Planning and Zoning  
Board meeting.  
Background:  
During the mid-year budget process, $112,858 was reallocated from  
the Rhode Island Extension Construction budget to the Planning  
Department to support professional services for the Rhode Island  
Extension Design/Concept and Traffic Analysis. To expand  
engagement efforts, staff is requesting a contract increase of $29,950,  
which would bring the Total Purchase Order amount to $89,115. This  
increase will cover two additional stakeholder meetings, individual  
briefings with City Commissioners, and two coordination meetings with  
FDOT and Volusia County.  
I.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-131 and authorization and  
issuance of a Purchase Order to Atlantic Pipe Services located in Sanford,  
Florida in the amount of $150,000.  
The Stormwater Division uses the services of Atlantic Pipe Services for  
cured in place pipelining on Stormwater pipe infrastructure. There was  
an oversight when the City Commission approved at the October 21,  
2024 the authorization of blanket purchase orders; Atlantic Pipe  
Services was not included in that list as presented. Stormwater has  
budgeted in FY 24/25 $150,000 for pipelining. The City of Deltona is  
piggybacking off the Volusia County Master Agreements MA 12439-1  
& 12503-2 for work associated with Stormwater cured in place  
pipelining.  
Background:  
At the June 23, 20225 Commission meeting, the City Commission  
rescinded the recently adopted purchasing policy, thereby reinstating  
the requirement that all purchase orders exceeding $25,000 be brought  
before the Commission for approval. This is a budgeted goods and  
service within the Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 adopted budget. As a  
result, this purchase order for Atlantic Pipe services requires formal  
Commission approval before we can proceed with payment on work  
completed.  
J.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-128 and the Piggyback  
Agreement for Conrete Installation, Removal, & Delivery between the City of  
Deltona and DDS Enterprises, LLC located in Pierson, Florida. Agreement will  
be for sidewalk and other miscellaneous concrete work, repairs, and  
maintenance in an amount not to exceed $250,000.  
The Purchasing Policies of the City of Deltona allow for “piggybacking”  
of competitively bid governmental contracts. DDS Enterprises, LLC  
was awarded a Master Services Agreement pursuant to Volusia  
County, Florida IFB#25-B-17J. The City finds this agreement and  
extension of the services to be provided combined with the bid cost of  
services to be in the best interest of the City.  
Background:  
K.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-110 and the Agreement between  
the City of Deltona and the Florida Division of Emergency Management  
(FDEM). FDEM requires a resolution that authorizes the Mayor to sign the  
Federally Funded Subaward and Grant Agreement Number H1222 Project  
Number 4680-052-R.  
City Hall serves as the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when

entire building is not serviced by emergency generator power. When  
activated as an EOC this facility provides a physical location from  
which City leaders and staff coordinate information and resources to  
support management of all disaster related activities and undertake the  
recovery efforts from a disaster.  
Background:  
The replacement generator will be equipment with an enclosure and  
other equipment for proper operation. The generator will be able to  
withstand the outside elements here in the Central Florida area.  
This agreement with FDEM provides for reimbursement of 75% of the  
project cost, estimated at $695,625. In addition, the agreement  
provides for $25,000 in Sub-Recipient Management Costs. This  
project has been budgeted for FY 25/26 and no work will begin before  
October 1, 2025.

budget.  
City Hall serves as the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when  
activated. Although the majority of City Hall is utilized for EOC activities,  
the entire building is not serviced by emergency generator power.  
When activated as an EOC this facility provides a physical location  
from which City leaders and staff coordinate information and resources  
to support management of all activities.  
Background:

costs and the additional funding paid to Pegasus Engineering may be  
used towards the City’s 25% cost share for the project.  
This Task Authorization has been budgeted for FY 25/26 and a Notice  
to Proceed will be issued no earlier than October 1, 2025.  
The City Commission approved Resolution No. 2025-29, the  
Purchasing Policy in March 2025. The City Manager per the

Engineering Services in the amount of $300,000.  
Pegasus Engineering is one of three (3) Continuing On Call  
Engineering Services Contractors approved by RFQ PW2020-08. The

for the City to have a professional engineer that can review stormwater  
projects, building permits, site plan reviews, peer reviews, Community  
Ranking System, NPDES program, FEMA Flood Plain Review,  
SJRWMD submissions and similar.  
Background:  
Pegasus Engineering has provided review of the types of permits,  
projects, and plans listed above on behalf of the City of Deltona.  
Pegasus Engineering has been a critical extension of the City of  
Deltona and has ensured that the City is well represented in all things  
stormwater, engineering, building and plan reviews. This continued  
working relationship under PO 250342 will be in the best interest of the  
City of Deltona.

Automated Meter Reading (AMR) water meters in the amount of $161,926.90.  
The City utilized ARC Funding to purchase approximately 35,000 AMR  
water meters with the remaining funds encumbered for meter  
installation. Deltona Water staff continues to install the remote read  
meters in all new subdivisions as well as with new in-fill home  
construction. In May 2023, Deltona Water/Public Works presented the

the City of Deltona and Brydson Services, LLC located in Beaumont, Texas for  
the elevation of the home located at 2560 Tulsa Drive WEST.  
During Hurricane Ian, the property at 2560 Tulsa Drive WEST was  
flooded and rendered inhabitable for many months. The City working  
with our consultant Pegasus Engineering alongside the property owner  
was successful in obtaining Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding  
awarded to “elevate” this property outside of the flood zone. This  
Subgrantee Agreement was approved by the Commission at the  
January 6, 2025 meeting.  
Background:

training and technical expertise to undertake this home elevation  
project.  
The City as the Subgrantee to the Florida Division of Emergency  
Management (FDEM) grant agreed to up-front the cost for the contract.  
The City will receive reimbursement for 75% of the project from FDEM

Q.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-130 to Accept and Adopt the  
January 2025 Volusia County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy  
(LMS).  
The City of Deltona is vulnerable to an array of natural hazards that can  
cause the loss of life and damage to public and private properties.  
Beginning in 2000 the City worked closely with Volusia County and  
other multiplicities for the development of a multi-jurisdictional local  
mitigation strategy. An update was completed in 2009, 2020 and most  
recently in 2025. The Florida Division of Emergency Management has  
completed the State review of the Volusia County LMS update for  
compliance with the federal hazard mitigation planning standards.  
Based on that review and comments, Volusia County developed and  
submitted all necessary plan revisions. FDEM has determined that the  
LMS plan is compliance with federal standards, subject to formal  
community adoption, for participating jurisdictions, including the City of  
Deltona.

Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-123 awarding an agreement  
between the City of Deltona and Waste Pro to provide Solid Waste collection  
services.

commercial solid waste services with the top ranked firm, Waste Pro of  
Florida, Inc. The contract will provide for the collection of residential  
solid waste, bulk and yard waste, household recycling and the collection  
of commercial solid waste.  
The residential rates have been adjusted to account for increased labor  
and equipment cost. The rates for the first three years have been  
adjusted by $1.25 plus a fixed 4% CPI adjustment. For year 1 of the  
contract, this represents a 13.23% increase over the previous year.  
For the subsequent years, CPI and fuel adjustment will be determined  
by the adjustments as addressed in the contract. Total annual cost paid  
to Waste Pro will be determined by the single-family residences  
assessed as part of the Solid Waste Assessment which is currently  
36,419 parcels with 228 additional units being assessed.  
The commercial rates will be per Exhibit “A” attached to the agreement.

A.  
Quasi-judicial Hearing - Ordinance No. 32-2025, A request to amend the  
Official Zoning map to rezone ±7.93 acres of land located along the East  
Howland Boulevard Corridor north of Pine Ridge High School from Commercial  
(C-1) to Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD), at first reading.  
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 7.93 acres at 930  
Howland Boulevard from Retail Commercial (C-1) to Mixed-Use  
Planned Unit Development (MPUD) to facilitate the Blackfin Self  
Storage project, including a self-storage facility and a commercial  
outparcel. The proposed MPUD is consistent with the City’s  
Comprehensive Plan by supporting mixed-use commercial  
Background:  
development, encouraging economic growth, and promoting  
compatible land use patterns. A Transportation Impact Analysis  
confirmed that site access and circulation are acceptable, with only  
minor turn lane adjustments recommended. The accompanying  
Development Agreement establishes high quality design standards,  
including architectural treatment, landscaped buffers, open space,  
stormwater management, and the prohibition of uses inconsistent with  
the City’s long term objectives. While the applicant has agreed to a  
minimum building size of 2,000 square feet for quick service  
restaurants, restrictions on car washes and full-services drive through  
restaurants were not incorporated; however, the City Commission may  
consider these items during review. At their regular meeting on August  
20, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-3 to recommend that  
the Mayor and City Commission deny Ordinance No. 32-2025, citing  
that the project is not a good fit for the neighborhood and concerns  
regarding traffic and safety near the high school. Staff recommends  
proceeding with public hearings on Ordinance No. 32-2025.  
B.  
Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 34-2025, Amendment to Section 110-319 PUD,  
Planned Unit Development, at first reading.  
The City Commission previously adopted Ordinance No. 34-2025,  
which amended Section 110-319 of the Land Development Code  
related to Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). Staff is now  
Background:  
recommending additional refinements to further improve the PUD  
regulations. The key changes include reducing the minimum lot size for  
PUDs to one acre, which provides greater flexibility in site design,  
allows for more creative and efficient land use, and encourages smaller  
scale projects that are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods.  
This change also expands opportunities for infill and redevelopment  
projects in areas where larger parcels are not available. In addition,  
updates to Table 110:10 - Permitted Use Table - will clarify which uses  
are allowed in PUD zoning districts, improve consistency with the  
Code, and reduce ambiguity during the review process. These  
amendments are intended to support high quality, context sensitive  
development consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. On August  
20, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously (7-0) to  
recommend approval of these changes. Staff also recommends  
approval of Ordinance No. 34-2025 at first reading.  
10. ACTION ITEMS:  
A.  
Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-92, approving the Community  
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Services awards for program year  
2025-2026; authorizing the City Manager to execute subrecipient agreements  
with the top ranked respondents to the Notice of Funding Availability.  
The City of Deltona receives annual Community Development Block  
Grant (CDBG) funding as a HUD-designated entitlement community,  
with up to 15 percent of the allocation available for public service  
activities. For the 2025-2026 program year, the City received (5) five  
applications from local service providers. A staff review committee  
evaluated the applications using a merit-based scoring process,  
including applicant presentations, and recommended funding for all five  
organizations. The recommended awards total approximately $75,000,  
with allocations ranging from $14,593 to $15,167. Funded programs  
will support housing assistance, senior services, youth development,  
early childhood education, and homeless prevention in Deltona. Staff  
recommends approval of Resolution No. 2025-92, authorizing the  
allocation of CDBG Public Services Awards for 2025-2026 and

NOTE: If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Commission  
with respect to any matter considered at this meeting or hearing, he/she will need  
a record of the proceedings, and for such purpose he/she may need to ensure that  
a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony  
and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based (F.S. 286.0105).  
Individuals with disabilities needing assistance to participate in any of these  
proceedings should contact the City Manager in writing at  
CityManager@deltonafl.gov or to Deltona City Hall, 2345 Providence Blvd.,  
Deltona, FL 32725 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting at which the person  
wishes to attend. The City is not permitted to provide the use of human physical  
assistance to physically handicapped persons in lieu of the construction or use of  
ramps or other mechanical devices in order to comply with Florida law. If proper  
accommodations for handicapped access cannot be made at a particular public  
meeting venue pursuant to a timely written request under Section 286.26 F.S., the  
City Manager shall change the venue of that meeting to a location where those  
accommodations can be provided.  
DECORUM POLICY: The City of Deltona has a significant interest in conducting orderly and efficient  
public meetings, which includes preventing disruption, promoting civility, and preserving decorum. To  
that end, behavior which disrupts or impedes the efficient and orderly conduct of any public meeting, as  
determined by the Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, is not permitted.  
The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, may interrupt, warn, or terminate  
a speaker’s statement when that statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene,  
irrelevant, or otherwise reasonably perceived to be a disruption to the fair and orderly progress of the  
discussion at hand. The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, may also  
interrupt any part of the meeting to warn any individual that they are being disruptive or otherwise  
impeding the efficient and orderly conduct of the meeting. The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority  
of the City Commission, may require any individual to leave a public meeting for its duration if that  
individual is unable to observe this Policy after being warned. Should an individual be required to leave a  
meeting for violating this Policy, that person shall be escorted from Commission Chambers by a  
Volusia Sheriff’s Deputy.  
PUBLIC FORUM: Public Forum will begin at 6:00 PM at the start of each regular meeting and will  
conclude after 30 minutes. Comments during Public Forum are limited to items of City business that  
are listed on the Agenda and/or items that are not listed on the Agenda. Comments regarding listed  
Agenda items will take place after discussion of each item. Please be courteous and respectful of the  
views of others. In order to address the Commission, citizens must fill out a public participation slip and  
give it to the Deputy City Clerk. All citizen comments are limited to 4 minutes and shall be addressed to  
the Mayor or the Commission as a whole. Members of the City Commission shall not enter into  
discussion or respond to a citizen’s comments other than to give directions or to ask for clarification.  
However, individual Commissioners may choose to respond under the "City Commissioner  
Comments" portion of the meeting.  
CONSENT AGENDA: The Consent Agenda contains items that have been determined to be routine  
and non-controversial. If discussion is desired by any member of the City Commission, that item must  
be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered separately. All other matters included under the  
Consent Agenda will be approved by one motion. Citizens with concerns should address those  
concerns by filling out a public participation slip and giving it to the Deputy City Clerk prior to Consent  
Agenda items being pulled.
