All five council members voted yes on every item Thursday, Nov. 5, adopting the parking rewrite on second reading and approving a Commerce Park resurfacing contract, a fire vehicle, grants and a budget amendment.
JUPITER — The Jupiter Town Council voted 5-0 on every item before it Thursday, Nov. 5, adopting a rewrite of the town's parking rules, approving a $515,396 resurfacing contract for Jupiter Commerce Park, and signing off on a slate of grants and a budget amendment — all without a single dissenting vote, abstention, or public comment.
The meeting ran from 7 p.m. to 8:24 p.m. in the Town Hall Council Chambers. Present for all votes were Mayor Jim Kuretski, Vice Mayor Phyllis Choy, and Councilors Ron Delaney, Dan Guisinger and Malise Sundstrom.
What the council adopted
The consent agenda passed 5-0 on a single motion, with no item pulled for separate discussion:
- Ordinance 42-26 (second reading): A rewrite of the town's stopping, standing and parking rules, creating a new Section 19-38 with a payment and appeal process for parking violations through the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court. The town attorney read the ordinance aloud; there was no discussion, no amendment and no public comment. With its second reading adopted, the parking rewrite is now final — unlike the Suni Sands ordinances, which are still awaiting second readings.
- Jupiter Commerce Park Resurfacing: Work Order #8 with LP Asphalt, LLC (EPW2025-33A), for $515,396.
- Fire Rescue administrative vehicle: A $64,500 vehicle from Duval Ford for the Jupiter Fire Rescue Department.
- Cypress Drive commercial matching grant: $25,000 to LPFR-Cypress 1 LLC.
- Sawfish Bay stormwater grant, Resolution 127-26: Acceptance of a grant agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for Sawfish Bay stormwater quality work. The full grant amount was not stated in the meeting record reviewed for this article.
- FY2026 budget amendment, Resolution 131-26: Approved as part of the consent agenda; the item's detail was not discussed on the floor.
The council also approved the Oct. 20 meeting minutes 5-0, on a motion by Councilor Ron Delaney.
Separately, the council voted 5-0 to approve a third amendment to the purchase and sale agreement with MISO Scale Diagnostics LLC, an emergency item raised in the town attorney's report that had not been on the published agenda. The company's due-diligence period ended Nov. 5; the amendment extends it to Dec. 7, 2026, while amendments to the declaration are negotiated. MISO had sent a conditional termination notice.
No member of the public spoke during the citizen-comments portion or on the consent agenda.
What happens next
The parking rewrite is adopted and final. The Suni Sands ordinances still await second readings, with no date set.
