Longboat Key Roundup: Town Manager Appointment, Canal Funding, New Library on June Agendas
What happened
All five meetings listed below were scheduled between June 22 and June 29, 2026. However, minutes have not yet been published for any of them. Because only agendas are available, the items below describe what each body was scheduled to consider — not what was ultimately decided. Vote tallies and final outcomes are not yet in the record.
Town Commission — June 22 (Special Workshop)
The Commission was scheduled to hold a special workshop on the Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) budget at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road. The Town Manager and Finance Director were set to present an update on the operating budget, review all funds, and provide an update on the Capital Improvement Plan. The Commission was expected to provide direction to the Town Manager.
Town Commission — June 22 (Regular Meeting)
The Commission was set to consider the appointment and employment contract of George Landry as the next Town Manager, with a proposed start date of September 14, 2026. Also on the agenda: Resolution 2026-14, the final assessment for the Canal (Waterway) Navigation Maintenance Program, including establishment of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBUs) for waterway-access property assessments.
Additional agenda items included air quality findings and recommendations from Vertex Companies, LLC; a review of zoning regulations regarding home elevation for FEMA standards; a progress update on the Subaqueous Force Main Project; and introduction of candidates for the Charter Review Committee.
Development Review Committee — June 25
The Committee was scheduled to discuss a Planned Unit Development Amendment, Outline Development Plan Amendment, and Final Site Development Plan Approval for a new library at 600 Bay Isles Road. The applicant is Sarasota County. The agenda noted there would be no public participation.
Town Commission — June 29 (Special Meeting)
The Commission was set to hold a public hearing on Ordinance 2026-09, which would establish a Parks and Recreation Impact Fee to replace the existing Land Acquisition Fee. Also scheduled: ratification of a three-year police union contract (PBA) for October 2026 through September 2029; setting the maximum millage rate for the 2026-2027 budget; acceptance of a donation of the pedestrian underpass from Bay Isles Association to the town; and appointments to the Charter Review Committee.
Why it matters
These agendas touch on the town's top administrative leadership, property-tax rate setting, canal maintenance assessments, flood-protection zoning, a new public library, and a police labor contract. Residents affected by waterway-access assessments, those considering home elevation projects, and anyone following the FY27 budget have direct stakes in the outcomes. Once minutes are published, this roundup will be updated with vote tallies and final decisions.
Coming up
No meetings are listed for the next 14 days (July 6–20, 2026). Readers should check the town's official calendar for any newly posted or rescheduled sessions.
