City of Lynn Haven Commission Meeting 6-23-2026
Published: Jun 23, 2026
City Commission Approves Resolution to Pause Data Center Applications Pending Ordinance Adoption
The commission voted to remove items seven and nine from the agenda and add a resolution for AI data centers, which would replace item seven. This resolution aims to halt the acceptance and processing of any applications for data centers or AI data centers pending the adoption of a formal ordinance. This measure is a first step in a process that includes studies to determine the feasibility and impact of such centers. Neighboring counties are also undertaking similar evaluations.
Community Services Board Expansion Discussed to Enhance Fundraising and Expertise
Commissioner Peebles proposed expanding the Community Services Advisory Board from five to seven members. The discussion included potentially having five voting Linhaven citizens and two non-voting expert advisors from anywhere in Bay County. The goal is to leverage external expertise for fundraising and promotions. The board's bylaws state any member constitutes a quorum, though a quorum of three is typically needed for a five-member board. The board has not met regularly since 2024 but recently had a meeting and received a proposed sponsorship package. There is also a need to clarify term limits and potential conflicts with city charter codes regarding board composition and appointment processes.
City Faces Budget Challenges, Plans Fiscal Year 27 Budget Workshop Amidst Calls for Fiscal Prudence
The commission reviewed the city's financial situation, acknowledging a need for cuts and consolidations due to a significant budget deficit and the use of savings in the previous year. Public commentary highlighted concerns about potential impacts on core services like police and fire, emphasizing the importance of response times and community well-being. Suggestions were made to explore cost-saving measures starting with elected officials' pay and reducing reliance on outside contractors. A workshop is planned to discuss the fiscal year 27 budget.
Wyoming Avenue Drainage Project Receives FDM Approval; Dock Bumpers to be Installed at Porter Park

A budget resolution will be brought to the commission to add this project and begin advertising. The project is 100% reimbursable. Additionally, dock bumpers will be installed at Porter Park next week.
City Commission Addresses Decorum and Public Participation Following Past Disruptions
The commission discussed and apologized for past disruptions during public comment periods, emphasizing the importance of allowing citizens to be heard and reviewing rules of decorum to ensure respectful engagement. The mayor apologized to Mr. Scray for interrupting him and taking away his speaking time. Commissioner Peebles also apologized for not speaking up sooner during a previous meeting. The discussion led to a consensus that clear rules of engagement and a better understanding of parliamentary procedures are needed. A workshop on the rules of decorum was proposed to clarify terms like 'disorderly' and establish protocols for public safety during meetings.
