The Titusville City Council will consider a $1.3 million fire engine purchase, a major design contract for the Broad Street redevelopment and stricter regulations for demolishing historic structures during its regular meeting Tuesday night.

The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Topping the consent agenda is the proposed purchase of a new 2026 Pierce stock fire engine from Ten-8 Fire Equipment Inc. The cost is not to exceed $1.3 million. According to a staff report from Fire and Emergency Services, the new engine will replace aging equipment to ensure fleet readiness for emergency response.

Council members will also vote on a $440,825 contract with AECOM Technical Services Inc. to provide consulting and design services for the Broad Street Streetscape project. The project aims to transform Broad Street into a signature downtown “festival street” designed to support community events, enhance walkability and strengthen economic activity within the Downtown Titusville Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) district.

The scope of work includes data collection, conceptual design and the preparation of construction documents. The design phase is expected to take approximately 38 weeks.

“The Broad Street project is envisioned as a signature downtown ‘festival street’ that supports community events, enhances walkability, and strengthens economic activity,” City Manager Thomas Abbate wrote in a memo to the council.

In regulatory matters, the council will consider an amendment to the city’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. The Historic Preservation Board recommended the changes to align local regulations with Senate Bill 582 and to give the board a larger role in reviewing the demolition of historic structures.

Pat Tyjeski, the city’s historic preservation officer, noted in a memo that the board identified the frequency of demolitions involving buildings with preservation potential as a concern. The proposed changes would expand the board’s review authority to ensure significant structures are preserved or properly documented before removal.

The council is also set to review a master services agreement with Quantum Partners, LLC, doing business as Swiftgov, to deploy artificial intelligence technology for permit and site plan reviews. The agreement includes a base monthly fee of $3,000. Staff stated the AI solution is intended to support planning, zoning and building reviews to improve efficiency and consistency.

Under new business, the council will consider the preliminary plat for Christian Court Townhomes, a proposed subdivision on approximately 7 acres located north of Garden Street. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the plat by a 7-0 vote on Jan. 7.

Also on the agenda was a request regarding the Tranquility Development Agreement, formerly known as Antigua Bay. However, the applicant withdrew the item on Jan. 6.

In his report to the council, Abbate noted that a public workshop regarding stormwater management is scheduled for Jan. 22. The workshop will address issues arising from the flash flood incident on Oct. 26, 2025, including after-action findings and potential code updates.

The meeting will take place in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 555 S. Washington Ave.
