Orlando City Government Focuses on Infrastructure and Fiscal Oversight Today

Official City Meetings and Administrative Sessions for January 29

The City of Orlando continues its busy week today, Thursday, January 29, 2026, with a schedule dominated by administrative oversight and infrastructure planning. While the full City Council held its primary voting session earlier this week, today’s activities focus on the technical and financial processes that keep municipal operations running transparently.

Audit Board Convenes for In-Person Review

The Orlando Audit Board is meeting today in an in-person session at City Hall. This body is responsible for providing high-level oversight of the city's financial reporting and internal control systems. Today’s agenda centers on the ongoing fiscal performance of city departments as they enter the second month of the 2026 calendar year. The board’s review is a critical component of Mayor Buddy Dyer's commitment to fiscal accountability, ensuring that taxpayer funds are utilized efficiently and according to the standards established by the City Commission.

Infrastructure and Procurement Activity

A key focus of today’s government activity is the modernization of city utilities. A public bid opening is scheduled for Construction Project IFB26-0036, which involves significant upgrades to Lift Station No. 2. This project is part of a series of wastewater infrastructure improvements aimed at supporting the city’s continued residential and commercial growth. By holding these openings publicly, the city maintains a transparent competitive bidding process for local and national contractors.

Furthermore, the 3rd Advisory Committee for RFP26-0046 is holding a session today. This committee is tasked with evaluating specialized proposals and ensuring that the procurement of city services aligns with established quality and diversity requirements.

Continuing the Week’s Momentum

These committee meetings follow several actions taken during the January 26 City Council meeting. Earlier this week, the council focused on local economic development and neighborhood improvements, including:

• Approval of a Business Assistance Program agreement for Angel Bridal Services on Silver Star Road.
• Authorization of a new artwork agreement for the Curry Ford West Lift Station to enhance community aesthetics.
• Official appointments to various citizen advisory boards.
