What this means

The council filled several advisory board vacancies and reappointed members, which affects who helps advise city parks and land-use issues. They passed a first-reading ordinance limiting golf cart operation on park roads and lots and adopted an ordinance allowing limited manufacturing at 4021 Tampa Road, which could change activity at that site. The council also approved revised city spending for the current fiscal year, set the ballot language for an August municipal special election, and scheduled a July budget work session so residents can review proposed spending.
