Councilman Tracy Grubbs shared an update on school safety that two Community Service Officers (CSOs) have been approved; one for Sugar Mill Elementary and one for Horizon Elementary. He also spoke about the Parks Bond to inform residents on the goal of the initiative and the projects included. Lastly, he inquired why the City doesn't allow garage sale signs when residents obtain the required garage sale permit. City Manager, Wayne Clark, explained that our current ordinance is content neutral to comply with a recent supreme court ruling; however, Council can reconsider the sign language of the ordinance. City Attorney, Matt Jones, will look further into it so Council can discuss if they want to change the current ordinance.

Vice Mayor Scott Stiltner shared his thoughts on Councilman Grubbs' question that the challenge lies in these signs becoming overwhelming to traffic/drivers and residents not picking them up after the allotted time. Vice Mayor Stiltner also commented on the Mayor's golf tournament and thanked the Parks & Recreation Department and KemperSports. He also spoke on the upcoming hurricane season and how some of the City's facilities and parks, infrastructure, and assets are getting repaired but are waiting on FEMA funding. Lastly, he reminded residents of the upcoming Fourth of July event at City Center.

Councilman Drew Bastian and Councilman Reed Foley apologized for missing the Mayor's golf tournament. Councilman Foley thanked Volusia ECHO for the funding on the two projects on consent.

Mayor Don Burnette also spoke on the Mayor's golf tournament and thanked City and Cypress Head golf course staff. He also spoke on the July 4th event for residents to come out and join.
