The City Commission Regular Meeting held on July 19, 2025, in Dunedin, Florida, addressed several community issues and announcements, reflecting the city's ongoing engagement with its residents.

The meeting began with a moment of remembrance for Gene Wilson, a long-time city employee who recently passed away. Vinny Luizi, a community member, shared details about a memorial service scheduled for Saturday at Andrews Memorial Chapel, emphasizing Wilson's contributions to the community and his role as an umpire in local baseball leagues.

Luizi also announced an upcoming fundraiser organized by the Dunedin History Museum, set for August 16, aimed at restoring the clock tower damaged by lightning three years ago. The event, themed around the fortieth anniversary of "Back to the Future," will feature music, a DeLorean time machine, and a costume contest. Luizi expressed gratitude towards city employee Angel for her support in coordinating the event, highlighting the collaborative efforts between the museum and the city.

Following these announcements, the discussion shifted to traffic concerns, specifically regarding the Highland Avenue speed bump issue. The city manager clarified that while the city does not currently have a traffic calming policy that includes speed bumps, they are exploring alternative measures to address safety concerns on Highland Avenue.

The meeting concluded without further public comments, reflecting a community actively engaged in both remembrance and celebration, as well as ongoing discussions about local safety and infrastructure. The city continues to foster collaboration between its departments and residents to enhance community well-being.
