The meeting began with a lengthy presentation covering ten items, after which the Mayor noted there were no public requests, commission reports, or appeals to the Board of Adjustment.

The presentation aimed to inform the commission about the changes in project scope and budget, emphasizing the importance of the infrastructure improvements for the community.
The meeting concluded without further announcements or committee appointments, focusing primarily on the infrastructure update. The commission's engagement with the FDOT highlights ongoing efforts to enhance local transportation and infrastructure, which are crucial for the city's development.
