During the recent City of Dade City Commission meeting on October 22, 2024, a variety of topics were discussed, highlighting community events and ongoing city operations.

One of the most notable announcements was the celebration of the 100th anniversary of New Port Richey, a neighboring city. The weekend festivities will include a picnic, dancing in the park, and a drone show featuring 100 drones. City officials expressed their enthusiasm for the event, inviting fellow commissioners to attend and experience the celebrations, which also honor the town's historical roots.

In addition to community events, the meeting addressed operational matters within the city. City Attorney Mr. Brackens reported on a new contract for the East Pasco Athletic organization, which was successfully negotiated and will be ratified in November. This extension ensures that the organization can continue its activities without interruption, demonstrating the city’s commitment to supporting local sports and recreation.

Chief Walters also took the opportunity to remind residents about the importance of safety, specifically encouraging everyone to lock their doors to enhance community security.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city’s dedication to fostering community spirit through events and ensuring smooth operations in local governance. As Dade City continues to engage with its neighbors and address public safety, residents can look forward to a vibrant community life and responsive city management.
