Why it matters: Friend described a local historic artifact (the tugboat) and said a museum would preserve items that otherwise could be dispersed; he asked the city for a supportive resolution to strengthen fundraising outreach and to signal municipal support as his organization pursues potential state or national designations and private funding.

What Friend told the commission

- Historical artifacts and the tugboat collection: Friend said the tugboat and related artifacts have local historic value and that curating the collection in a museum would prevent dispersal of materials as owners and donors age.

- Site considerations: Friend said attempts to place the boat at Blue Springs Park were halted by archaeological constraints — “shell middens and burial mounds” — and that those features precluded building there. He described an alternative strategy to request a national-monument designation on Lake County land in the Ocala National Forest adjacent to accessible, high ground. He emphasized visibility and road access as site selection criteria.

- Funding and ask: Friend estimated the project could raise about $600,000 from an “ECHO” program (he described it as plausible) as seed funding, and asked the City of DeLand for a supportive resolution that would not obligate the city to contribute funds but would strengthen his organization’s ability to solicit private and public grants and major donors.

- Next steps: Friend said he met with the mayor earlier in the day and asked for a meeting among stakeholders to consider a supportive resolution and planning steps. He asked the commission to consider a written statement of support to assist with fundraising solicitations.

Commission response and record

The mayor acknowledged receipt of materials Friend dropped off earlier that day and city staff included his outline in the meeting packet. No formal action or vote was taken on Friend’s request at the Jan. 6 meeting; the presentation was recorded as public comment and the commission indicated staff and the mayor would follow up.

Ending: Friend framed the proposal as patriotic and an attraction for the area and said he would seek state and private funding; the commission accepted the public comment and packet materials for follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of DeLand City Commission Meeting - January 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A volunteer asked the commission to endorse a plan to create a Saint John’s Maritime and Military Museum for artifacts from the ST 479 “Tiger” tugboat and requested a supportive city resolution to strengthen fundraising and outreach.","taxTitle","City of DeLand, Volusia County, Florida","taxId",72535,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6389770,"DeLand City Commission approves legislative platform, tax-abatement guidelines and committee appointments",136,3201000,3337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2113094-90195f1691425996ade9151dee9527dc&start=3201&end=3337","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2113094-90195f1691425996ade9151dee9527dc/thumbnail_3201000.jpg","/articles/6389770/Florida/DeLand-City-Commission-approves-legislative-platform-tax-abatement-guidelines-and-committee-appointments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6389770-dbca4db4b9e1378a0d871a61f2dcf261/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171252&Signature=IC5QYgU7aM8qyAV1vym6gtTpCizXHyOlz0dOY5MFXGJyTVIcPRJ8GwX15zgVsC0vtL1410RmgSu-8aPe-MyHrV87xgzDI~4lqEKXt8cT4z1hVJRTCWueFjB0JSH8O236ADa0lt6o0D9F~IeVEBVA0x87qoMXRiNc7pGyK9XuKrg6kDZeTm~b6DvyV1eUMtgw6X3AcyO-ufzTXn0DHyA2boNV8GqrV1u6z3~Dj1CmsmmQCxHEhb8t3FQF9BphPIjCic1~~ORE0Efed7zjXib~nrgAjTVFCe9QV6piTwvdcGNG2ghjIN5r5sGA75LZO4GcLD079QyWngV7O6c~NUw16w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The DeLand City Commission on Jan. 6, 2025 adopted its city legislative program and the Florida League of Cities platform for 2025, approved updated ad valorem tax-abatement guidelines, confirmed appointments to a Brownfield Advisory Committee and passed several procedural motions including continuances of three ordinances and a change of the January meeting date.

Why it matters: the legislative platform and city program set the administration’s priorities for the upcoming state session; the tax-abatement guidelines govern eligibility for property-tax incentives that local businesses can seek; the Brownfield appointments set up the citizen advisory process for remediation and future development of the Beresford Reserve site.

Most significant votes and formal actions

- Adoption of the Florida League of Cities legislative platform and the City of DeLand legislative program for 2025. Motion by Vice Mayor Davis; second by Commissioner Reid. Outcome: approved (voice vote). The packet includes the city’s priority of an appropriation request for a bridge project and related materials to use in meetings with legislators.

- Adoption of ad valorem tax-abatement guidelines. Staff presented updated guidelines tied to annually published state wage-rate tables rather than fixed wages embedded in the city resolution. Motion to approve by Commissioner Paiva; second by Commissioner Reid. Outcome: approved (voice vote). Staff said updated wage-rate tables are expected within weeks and will be applied automatically under the new guideline language.

- Appointment of five members to the Brownfield Advisory Committee for the Beresford Reserve brownfield matter and adoption of the committee resolution. Motion by Commissioner Paiva; second by Vice Mayor Davis. Outcome: approved (voice vote). The commission adopted a resolution creating the citizen advisory committee that will receive submissions related to remediation and inform outreach to neighboring residents.

- Change to the January regular meeting date. The commission moved the regular meeting from Monday, Jan. 20, 2025 (federal Martin Luther King Jr. Day) to Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025. Motion by Vice Mayor Davis; second by Commissioner Reid. Outcome: approved (voice vote).

- Consent agenda approval (items 2–7) and a separate appointment to a city ad hoc airport consultant selection committee. Motion to approve the consent agenda by Vice Mayor Davis; second by Commissioner Reid. Motion to appoint Commissioner Paiva to the airport consultant selection committee (to review qualifications and recommend a consultant under FAA/FDOT guidance) was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Outcome: consent agenda and appointment approved.

- Continuances: the commission voted to continue to the second meeting in January the second readings of ordinance 2024-41 (annexation of ~0.99 acre south side of Casadaga Road), ordinance 2024-42 (land-use change for ~0.099 acre on the south side of Casadaga Road) and ordinance 2024-43 (amendment to DeLandTech Park PD covering 143.8 acres). Motions to continue were offered and approved by voice vote.

Meeting procedure and vote format

Most motions were decided by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not read into the record for the votes summarized above. Where a named mover and seconder were recorded, those names appear in the meeting minutes; the formal outcomes recorded on the dais were “motion carries” or “motion carries, ayes.”

Background and next steps

- Legislative platform: staff will distribute printed copies (the packet described as a newsletter-style handout) for commissioners to use at meetings with state legislators; the local delegation meeting was scheduled for Jan. 7 in the chambers.

- Tax-abatement guidelines: staff expects state-issued wage-rate tables within the next two weeks and will update the program automatically to reflect the new published wages.

- Brownfield Advisory Committee: staff said the committee will be advisory, of limited duration (ending after formal remediation confirmation by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection), will meet at City Hall (evenings preferred by applicants), and will be supported by city staff and an outside geology consultant who will attend meetings to explain technical materials.

The review will focus on deficiencies, perimeter protections and operational items that can be implemented immediately under city-manager authority and on equipment or resource requests that will be brought back to the commission for approval if needed.

Why it matters: large downtown events attract thousands of attendees and require coordinated traffic control, barricades and public-safety planning; staff said the objective is to reduce vulnerability to vehicle attacks and other mass-casualty scenarios.

What staff said

- Immediate review: staff will prioritize the three upcoming events and evaluate security needs for street closures such as George Avenue and Indiana Avenue during parades and festivals. Some operational changes could be implemented immediately by the city manager; other measures that require new equipment or budget will be presented to the commission.

- After-action reports: staff noted existing practice of conducting after-action reviews following events and said they will use those reports to identify vulnerabilities (for example, poor audibility of internal drills was noted in a separate conversation about school safety drills).

Police use of risk-protection (red-flag) orders

Commissioners discussed mental-health intersections with public-safety work. The mayor and commissioners praised local police for using the state’s risk-protection-order procedures when appropriate; staff said local officers have been willing to prepare the necessary documentation and pursue the orders even when it requires off-shift work. The city noted the red-flag tool as one element among many to reduce risk to the public.

Follow-up and next steps

- Staff will report recommended operational changes and any proposed purchases to the commission as soon as practicable.

- Staff will continue coordination with law-enforcement, health providers and event organizers to refine protocols and outreach.

Ending: Commissioners thanked staff and police for the proactive review; staff noted this work will continue before the next major events and will be reported back to the commission for approval of any resource needs.","After recent mass-vehicle attacks elsewhere, DeLand's city manager asked staff to review security for near-term large public events including the bike rally, 'Me Strong' and the Mardi Gras parade; commissioners also discussed law-enforcement use of risk-protection (red-flag) orders and mental-health coordination.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6389760,"DeLand proclaims Jan. 20, 2025 as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day; committee outlines 54th annual events",126,410000,536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2113094-90195f1691425996ade9151dee9527dc&start=410&end=536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2113094-90195f1691425996ade9151dee9527dc/thumbnail_410000.jpg","/articles/6389760/Florida/DeLand-proclaims-Jan-20-2025-as-Dr-Martin-Luther-King-Jr-Day-committee-outlines-54th-annual-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6389760-4ed51f2043421c5680b864e5c533fec1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171252&Signature=n~ug5XF28r3OcgNA-bLuRO8PeBW9TknbY9Hp8GpGYJ9chpi4Vfl2nlu2WEpwYds6d7SPfCQuQ~716F6AT7C2UvhuAfaWzQ9nTsIureD4PYVKvCqpAYWCOh3pSBulym9xnAVjd475hlnefV6guU2zbfU6BDAiZJe7Ybemi-nxW490woX33IUurcwHRfzp-DEyU9JWzbVj0ycBVer8B5x7bhXVI~-E~FmZtNMHFRRRTmu3ROQ3RWVVYUEjbAftxoXWYA8vTdsgIrQ5HWeoZeICO-hXR8yc7QvkWG8qVFZuVNFNuNcU6FVM9ZkRCZCh7gwM93hyjSb6cVDBA~gSryam3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of DeLand on Jan. 6 accepted a proclamation naming Monday, Jan. 20, 2025 as Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the city and heard details of the 54th annual local celebration.

Why it matters: the multi-day program brings community service, commemorative events and public gatherings downtown that require event planning, traffic management and community outreach.

What organizers presented

Pastor Darby, representing the MLK committee, told the commission the city’s 54th annual MLK celebration will run Jan. 18–20, 2025. Key events detailed by the committee:

- Jan. 18 — Gala and honoree banquet, 6 p.m., DeLand Sanborn Center. Tickets: $50 (banquet only).

- Jan. 19 — Fellowship service and concert, 4 p.m., City Sanctuary Church (pastor Mark Schrade’s church). National recording artist Lisa Page Brooks is the special guest.

- Jan. 20 — Annual march downtown: participants will gather near Stetson University (line up at 10:30 a.m.; march begins at 10:45 a.m.) and march through downtown to Earl Brown Park. The MLK Festival at Earl Brown Park will run 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. with food and product vendors, youth presentations, a 3-on-3 basketball event and a poster contest. Musical programming includes Trey Pearson (noted in the presentation as a five-time Grammy nominee/award recognition) and T Stones.

- Health fair: AdventHealth and the Volusia County Health Department will operate a health fair inside the Sanborn Center offering mental-health and dental screenings and other preventive services during the weekend events. Organizers said most festival activities are free; only the banquet requires a ticket.

Organizers provided outreach information and a web contact: delandmlk.com. Pastor Darby said the celebration has run continuously for more than five decades in DeLand and thanked city staff and volunteers for their work.

Proclamation

Mayor Christopher M. Clapman read and signed the proclamation declaring Jan. 20, 2025 as Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Day in the City of DeLand and urged residents to rededicate themselves to human-rights principles and community service.

Why it matters: the Beresford Reserve site includes an old landfill designated as a brownfield. The committee — established by the commission’s resolution — will provide outreach, review submitted technical documents and act as a liaison between staff, the developer and neighbors while FDEP evaluates and approves any remedial action plan required before construction.

What the commission did

Commissioners voted to appoint Joseph DeGatano, Catherine (Clark) Samuels, Dr. Denise DeGarmo, Brian Diaz (expressed interest but absent) and Lance Harding to the committee. The resolution creating the committee was adopted by voice vote.

Committee role and scope explained by staff

City staff explained that the Brownfield Advisory Committee is an advisory body created under Florida law and administered in coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Staff said the committee is not responsible for designing remediation; FDEP will approve a remedial action plan and will administer the actual cleanup.

Key procedural points staff outlined

- The committee will be advisory and limited in duration — it remains active only while remediation and approvals are outstanding and will end once FDEP confirms completion of required remediation.

- The committee’s meetings are public and will be held at City Hall; staff said evening meetings generally work best for the appointed residents.

- City staff and an outside geology consultant will attend committee meetings to explain technical reports and answer questions; the applicant’s preliminary plat and related construction plans will be circulated through the normal technical-review and planning-board processes and will also be provided to the Brownfield Advisory Committee for review.

- A 20-acre park located on the old landfill site must be constructed in the first phase of development per the zoning/planned development approval; the park design and improvements will be part of the materials reviewed in the plat and by the committee.

Applicant perspectives

Three applicants addressed the commission before the vote. Joseph DeGatano described his local roots and project-management experience and said he wanted to help reclaim unused properties for community benefit. Catherine (Clark) Samuels, who lives on the periphery of the Beresford Reserve, said she wanted to ensure the work is done carefully and to protect neighbors. Dr. Denise DeGarmo described her background in occupational health and in advocacy on complex exposure issues and said those skills will be useful when interpreting technical analyses and exposure-pathway information.

What remains to happen

- The developer must submit a remedial action plan to FDEP; staff said construction permits or on-site construction will not be allowed until FDEP approves the remedial action plan.

- Preliminary plat materials (site layout, road access, stormwater, etc.) will be reviewed by technical staff, the Planning Board and the City Commission and will be provided to the Brownfield Advisory Committee as they become available.

- Staff will schedule the Brownfield Advisory Committee’s first meeting and said it will provide meeting notices and outreach to neighbors in the immediate vicinity; staff also said the committee will not carry the reporting or financial-disclosure obligations of elected officials.

Ending: Commissioners thanked the applicants for their patience as the long-running project moves toward the remedial and platting phases; staff will set the committee schedule and circulate technical materials when filed with the city and FDEP.","The City Commission appointed five members to a Brownfield Advisory Committee to act as a community conduit to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection-led remedial process for the Beresford Reserve site; staff outlined how the committee will operate and the regulatory steps before construction can proceed.","actionData","errors"]
