A.  
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  
Background:  
adopt a tentative millage rate prior to the adoption of a tentative  
budget and shall otherwise comply with the controlling provisions of  
the law.  
The Volusia County Property Appraiser has certified the gross  
taxable value of property  
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 Improvement Funds (CIP), Enterprise Funds and other  
Internal Service Funds, in the amount of $245,683,379 and is  
attached to the Resolution as Exhibit "A".  
Florida Statutes, including Section 200.065, provide that 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 Florida law.  
C.  
District 6 Commissioner  
Commissioner Lulli submitted his resignation effective immediately.  
Background:  
As per the City Charter Section 5 (7) (b) 2 “…If, however, the  
remainder of the unexpired term exceeds 2 years, the remaining

such vacancy, by majority vote, appoint a person to fill the vacancy  
until the next regularly scheduled City election.”  
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  
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.  
Background:  
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 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.  
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. 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  
Background:  
“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.  
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

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.  
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

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

been vital 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,

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

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  
Background:  
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

adoption, for participating jurisdictions, including the City of Deltona.  
R.  
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.  
On July 23, 2018, the City Commission entered a contract with  
Waste Pro for the collection and disposal of residential solid waste.  
The contract was for an initial term of seven years and had  
provisions for one, seven-year extension. This is for the seven-year  
extension.  
Background:  
Over the last five years the US economy has experienced significant  
inflationary pressures. Waste Pro has requested that the City  
consider an additional increase to help offset the rising costs of fuel,  
maintenance and other costs of operations. for a ranking list and  
authorized staff to negotiate a contract for exclusive residential and  
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. The rates are also based on CPI and fuel as addressed  
in the contract. Waste Pro handles all billing and collections for  
commercial customers.  
This is part of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget.

VEMA - Presenting Commissioner Avila-Vazquez with a VEMA vest.  
Echelonos Audit Presentation  
9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:  
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  
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.  
Background:  
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  
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  
Background:  
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

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

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.
