The Deltona City Commission held a workshop on June 9, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:44 p.m. in the Deltona Commission Chambers. Five members were present (Mayor Avila and Commissioners Avila-Vazquez, Colwell, Howington, and Lulli); Vice Mayor Heriot and Commissioner Santiago were absent. The Commission received a detailed Public Works/Utility project overview, added a temporary-development moratorium discussion to the agenda, and directed staff to prepare a moratorium ordinance.
Get started with the City Commission workshop for June 9th 2025. If I can please have the city clerk called roll. Commissioner Biola Basquise. Commissioner Callwell. Here. Commissioner Howington? Here. Commissioner Lally. Here. Commissioner Santiago. Vice Mayor Area. Mayor Biel. Here. This time if we can please stand for the pledge. And I will ask Commissioner Lulley if you can lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, invisible with liberty and justice for all. I'd like to call a point of order. That's okay. What is your point of order, Commissioner Howlington? Uh I'd like to add a section for add uh for additions for this meeting. We can't do that. Actually, I was told by our attorney that we could. We we can add an item for discussion if the commission votes to amend the agenda. They would have to vote to amend the agenda. What is what is the discussion that you want to add? I would like to put forth a motion for a temporary moratorium. We're in the middle of a workshop. We can't do motion. It would be a discussion on uh moratorium or temporary moratorium. It would be direction to the city staff and attorneys to move forward. And this is based on the information that Zach gave me on Friday. Yeah, you all can add a discussion item. So you you can't pass a resolution tonight. But you all can have a discussion, and at the end of the discussion, just like the last workshop, you can say come back with an ordinance for us to review, and that would have to be for a vote, or come back with a resolution for us to review, and that would have to be a vote. But if the majority of this body wants to add a discussion another topic for discussion, you can, and then you can have that discussion. If your motion is to have a discussion about a moratorium, I would second that if that's your motion. So this full paper is your motion. Correct. Is there a time certain for this? Yes, it will be time certain based on one of two criteria. So you have the first criteria with the nine months or until the second bullet there. City attorney, can we proceed or no? So you can proceed. It's just important that you're not voting to take action. You're voting to add this discussion topic to the agenda. And at in a course of your discussion, if the majority of you give direction to bring something back for you to vote on, that would be perfectly acceptable. You just can't vote on the thing tonight.
