Orange County Board and City Committees Convene for Policy Sessions Today

Local Government Activity Intensifies as County Board and City Committees Meet

Orlando and Orange County residents face a significant day in local governance this Tuesday, March 10, 2026. While the Orlando City Council is currently in a mid-month break before its next scheduled session on March 16, several major governmental bodies and advisory boards are convening today to address regional policy, infrastructure, and community development.

Orange County Board of County Commissioners Regular Session

The primary event on today’s political calendar is the regular meeting of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m., the commissioners are gathering in the County Commission Chambers at the County Administrative Center, located at 201 South Rosalind Avenue in downtown Orlando. As the chief legislative body for the county, the BCC is responsible for overseeing a wide array of public services, including public safety, zoning regulations, and regional transit initiatives.

Today’s session is expected to include several public hearings regarding land use and development projects across the county’s six districts. These meetings serve as a critical platform for residents to voice their concerns or support for new construction and community enhancements. For those unable to attend in person, the session is being broadcast live on Orange TV and streamed via the county’s official digital platforms. This accessibility ensures that the decision-making process for the region’s growth remains transparent to the public.

City of Orlando Committee and Advisory Board Meetings

Within the City of Orlando’s administration, several specialized committees are also in session today to manage specific municipal programs. These advisory boards play a vital role in vetting projects before they reach the full City Council for a final vote. Key meetings taking place today include:

• Public Art Advisory Board: Holding a hybrid meeting to discuss upcoming installations and the maintenance of the city’s growing collection of public sculptures and murals.
• DTO Façade Program Grant Review Committee: This meeting, which was previously rescheduled to today, is being held virtually. The committee reviews applications for grants intended to help downtown business owners improve the exterior appearance of their buildings.
• EDV Small Business Façade Committee: Similar to the DTO program, this virtual session focuses on supporting small businesses in the city’s Main Street districts through aesthetic improvement incentives.
• Procurement Committee (RFP26-0009): An in-person meeting is scheduled to evaluate proposals for a new city contract, ensuring transparency in the municipal bidding process.

Cancellations and Public Participation

Residents should note that the Budget Review Committee meeting originally scheduled for today has been officially canceled. For all other active sessions, the City of Orlando continues to encourage public participation. Most committee meetings offer a virtual attendance option via Zoom, allowing citizens to provide input on specific agenda items from their homes. Written comments can also be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office to be included in the official record for these sessions. Staying engaged with these committees is the most direct way for Orlando residents to influence the future look and feel of their neighborhoods.
