Panama City Commission eyed $1.19M Pretty Bayou contract, charter and budget workshops in late June
Panama City's Commission had a full late-June schedule, with a June 23 regular meeting agenda listing more than $1.9 million in proposed contracts and two rezoning final hearings, followed by two non-voting workshops on the city budget and a revised City Charter. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the three sessions, so the items below reflect what was on the agendas — not confirmed outcomes or vote tallies.
June 23: Contracts, rezonings, and Bay County collaboration on the agenda
The City Commission meeting agenda included several dollar-figure items:
- **$1,194,839** — proposed award to 850 Construction Services for Pretty Bayou Improvements Phase 3.
- **$404,978** — task order to Volkert, Inc. for a Rails with Trails Planning Study covering Phases I–III.
- **$381,760** — contract with Barge Design Solutions for construction engineering inspection of the CDBG-DR Project Area O-2.
The agenda also listed final public hearings on two rezoning requests: parcel 14327-000-000 on Grace Avenue to General Commercial-2, and parcel 18067-000-000 on Magnolia Avenue to Neighborhood General.
A discussion item — not a contract or vote — addressed potential collaboration and consolidation of services with Bay County and other municipalities. No specifics on which services were listed.
Because minutes are not yet available, it is not confirmed which of these items were voted on, tabled, or continued.
June 29: Third pre-budget workshop
The Commission held a workshop focused on the upcoming 2026 budget, with departmental budget presentations from the City Manager and various departments. The agenda included a public comment period. This was a discussion and input session, not a final budget vote.
July 1: City Charter revision workshop
A virtual, non-voting workshop was scheduled for the Commission to discuss revisions to the City Charter. The agenda noted that no official actions would be taken and that there was no public participation for this session.
Coming up
- **July 6 (today):** Public Workshop to discuss the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee report. This is a non-voting workshop with no audience participation, per the agenda.
Residents looking for confirmed outcomes from the June 23 meeting should watch for published minutes from the City Commission, which will record any votes taken on the contracts and rezonings listed above.
