City Commission - Mar 24, 2026
Ordinance 1722 would lock in a $12 million loan — with a state intercept agreement — to build, equip and furnish a municipal swimming facility. It's a major long-term debt commitment for the city.
City Commission - Feb 24, 2026
Two ordinances were on the agenda to fund a municipal natatorium: rededicating the local economic development tax and its fund balance, and authorizing a $12 million loan with an intercept agreement. Together they would lock in the tax stream and borrowing for building and running the indoor pool facility.
