The Wellington Village Council Workshop held on August 7, 2025, focused on several key resolutions and ordinances aimed at improving local governance and community standards. The meeting began with a discussion on Resolution 2025-57, which proposes the implementation of an electronic filing system for campaign treasurer's reports. This transition from paper to electronic submissions is in accordance with Florida statute 106.07282. The new system will include a user-friendly portal on the village website, guiding candidates through the reporting process and ensuring timely submissions.

Following this, the council addressed Ordinance 2025-06, concerning the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Reserve section 24 comprehensive plan amendment. This item required a second reading due to a missed deadline for forwarding the adopted ordinance to the state. The council acknowledged the delay was due to summer vacation and the need for signatures.

The next significant topic was the Marketplace at Wellington, which included three related applications: a second reading for a comprehensive plan amendment, a conditional use request for an 80-room hotel, and a master plan amendment. The council confirmed that these items would be presented together for quasi-judicial review, with a full presentation scheduled for the following meeting.

Ordinance 2025-15 was also discussed, which involves the repeal and replacement of regulations regarding speed detection systems in school zones. This update is necessary to clarify statutory requirements as the village prepares to implement the program starting August 11.

Another important item was Ordinance 2025-22, which amends regulations on waterways in response to Senate Bill 1388. This legislation prohibits restrictions on watercraft based on their energy source, prompting the council to adjust local laws to maintain safety and environmental standards on Wellington's waterways.

Lastly, the council reviewed Ordinance 2025-25, which amends the qualifying period for the upcoming March elections. The new timeline will run from November 4 to November 18, allowing for adequate preparation of ballot language while avoiding conflicts with holiday schedules.

The meeting concluded with no additional agenda items, and the council members expressed their readiness to address the upcoming public hearings and resolutions in future sessions.
