COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 9th 2026.mp4
Published: Jun 9, 2026
Property Owners Association Raises Concerns on Bike Path Completion, Parking Violations, Canal Buoys, and Park Maintenance
Mike Millard, representing the Cocoa Plum Property Owners Association, raised several concerns. He inquired about the timeline for finishing the bike path near the deep injection well project, which was filled with rocks after drilling. He also reported commercial trucks parking in the bike path on Cocoa Plum and requested code enforcement investigate. Additionally, he noted the presence of rented buoys in the canal and asked for an investigation into their installation and use. Finally, he commented that re-sodding the soccer field in June and then holding a festival in July would lead to repeated re-sodding, suggesting August as a better time for re-sodding after the July 4th events.
City Waives Parking and Boat Ramp Fees for Registered Veterans
The council unanimously passed Resolution 2026-51, which rescinds Resolution 2023-33 and establishes a new policy waiving parking and boat ramp fees for military veterans who register with the city. This initiative aims to provide benefits to veterans, recognizing their service. The registration process will be streamlined and align with the state parks' policy for identifying eligible veterans. The city plans to promote this new benefit through its website and potentially signage.
City Adopts 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan
The council approved Resolution 2026-48, adopting the City of Marathon's 10-year water supply facilities work plan. The plan outlines strategies for ensuring a sufficient water supply over the next decade. This resolution followed a previous presentation on the topic, and no further presentation was given during this meeting.
City Website Update Nearing Completion, Expected in Seven Weeks
The city is updating its website, with an estimated completion timeline of seven weeks, including training and beta testing. The new website is intended to be user-friendly, informative, and modern. Departments have been providing content to the website creator. The council expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming launch.
Resident Raises Concerns Over Septic Canals and Clogged Culverts
A resident, Diane Scott, brought up concerns about the canal near the country club and golf course becoming septic due to culvert blockage. She requested that the culvert cleaning, previously mentioned as funded, be addressed. She noted that opening the culverts under Sombrow Boulevard and Sombrough Road would help alleviate the issue, although one culvert has multiple two-foot pipes and is overgrown with mangroves.
