MetroPlan Orlando and City Review Boards Convene for Thursday Sessions

Regional and Municipal Boards Address Leadership and Oversight

On Thursday, February 12, 2026, several government entities and advisory boards in Orlando are holding scheduled sessions to address regional transportation planning, public safety retirement funds, and city construction procurement. While the Orlando City Council is not slated to meet until later this month, today’s activities focus on the specialized committees that manage the city’s long-term infrastructure and administrative compliance.

MetroPlan Orlando Quality Assurance Task Force Election

A primary highlight of today’s political calendar is the meeting of the MetroPlan Orlando Quality Assurance Task Force (QATF). The session is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. at the MetroPlan Orlando offices on South Orange Avenue. The meeting’s central action item is the formal election of the 2026 QATF Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson. This leadership transition is a critical component of the organization's regional oversight, as the QATF is responsible for ensuring the technical integrity and quality of transportation planning processes throughout Central Florida.

The committee will also provide a forum for public comment, allowing residents to address the board on transportation quality standards and project assessment methodologies. Participation is being offered both in-person and virtually via digital conferencing platforms to ensure broad accessibility for stakeholders across Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties.

City of Orlando Administrative and Pension Reviews

At the municipal level, the City of Orlando has convened the Police Pension Board for an in-person session today. The board is tasked with the fiduciary oversight of retirement benefits for the city’s law enforcement officers. Agenda items for these sessions typically include the review of investment performance reports and the approval of new retirement applications, ensuring the long-term solvency of the public safety fund.

Simultaneously, the Chapter 57 Review Board is meeting to discuss compliance and certification matters. This board plays a vital role in Orlando’s commitment to diversity and economic inclusion by reviewing applications and maintaining standards for the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) programs. Their work today ensures that city contracts remain accessible to a diverse array of local vendors.

Construction Procurement and Advisory Sessions

Beyond advisory boards, the city is moving forward with infrastructure procurement through a scheduled bid opening for Construction Project IFB26-00094. This public opening allows the city to transparently review contractor proposals for upcoming municipal works. Additionally, the second advisory committee meeting for RFP25-0469 is taking place today, where officials will continue evaluating competitive proposals for city-wide service contracts.
