What's on the table

No meeting minutes have been published for the items below, so nothing has been formally decided. The following are drawn from agendas only and describe what city boards were scheduled to take up.

City Commission — July 9, 2026 (agenda only)

The Tamarac City Commission agenda lists several financial items for Fiscal Year 2027, including the proposed 7.0000 millage rate for general operating purposes and public hearings on the FY 2027 budget.

Also on the agenda:

• An application for up to **$5 million** for the NW 57th Street Roadway Improvement Corridor.
• A school crossing guard services contract **not to exceed $565,963.20 annually**.
• Purchase of one fire rescue ambulance **not to exceed $566,546.00**.
• A conditional loan commitment of **$640,000 to HTG Tamarac Terrace, LLC**.

The agenda also includes assessment reviews for fire rescue, stormwater, and solid waste services, plus a first reading of a budget amendment. Because minutes are not yet published, vote tallies and final outcomes are not available.

Special Magistrate — July 8, 2026 (agenda only)

The Special Magistrate was scheduled to review code enforcement cases across residential and commercial properties. Listed cases include:

• Non-residential property maintenance at **5001 N State Road 7**.
• Occupational license requirements for **7654 & 7656 N Nob Hill Rd**, **5098 NW 37 Ave A**, **10428 W McNab Rd**, and **8051 W McNab Rd**.
• Landlord registration and driveway maintenance at **8017 NW 83 St**.
• Tree removal and replacement at **5700 NW 94 Ave**.
• Parking lot lighting repairs at **7707 N University Dr**.

No findings, orders, or fines are recorded yet because minutes have not been published.

Parks & Recreation Board — July 9, 2026 (cancelled)

The Parks & Recreation Board meeting was cancelled. The agenda contained only standard procedural headings such as roll call and minutes approval, with no projects, contracts, or policy changes listed.

Why it matters

The millage rate directly affects property tax bills for Tamarac residents. The roadway improvement application, crossing guard contract, and ambulance purchase involve city spending and public services. The Special Magistrate cases address property upkeep and business licensing across specific addresses. Residents affected by any listed item may want to watch for published minutes or attend future hearings.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days.
