Deltona meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Deltona Commission denies Fire Rescue assessment; sets roll-back millage rate

The Deltona City Commission voted unanimously on July 20 to deny an ordinance that would have created a new Fire Rescue Services assessment, while approving the maximum millage rate at the roll-back rate of 6.4948 for the upcoming fiscal year.

Fire Rescue assessment denied

The Commission voted 7-0 to deny Ordinance No. 14-2026, which would have established a Fire Rescue Services assessment. The same 7-0 vote set the maximum millage rate at the roll-back rate of 6.4948, meaning the rate is set to bring in the same total revenue as the prior year before accounting for new construction.

Annual assessment rates approved

The Commission approved several annual assessment rates for fiscal 2026-27:

• Solid Waste assessment rate — Resolution No. 2026-56 (4-3)
• Stormwater assessment rate — Resolution No. 2026-57 (6-1)
• Lake McGarity assessment rate set at $0 — Resolution No. 2026-55 (7-0)

Other Commission actions

The Commission also approved Ordinance No. 02-2026 regulating micromobility devices (7-0) and Ordinance No. 15-2026 regarding animal abandonment penalties (7-0). A lawn and landscaping contract was awarded to Quality By Design under Resolution No. 2026-63.
