The Dade City Commission approved multiple formal actions and formalized several procedural changes at its Oct. 14 meeting. Key votes and formal actions included:

The measure passed by roll call vote 5–0.

- City‑manager employment contract (GRAMA 2025‑40): The commission approved the city manager's contract with typographical corrections and added language making residency within 25 driving miles of the municipal boundary a material term; the contract passed by roll call 5–0. Commissioners also corrected several grammatical issues in the contract text prior to adoption.

- Ordinance 2025‑12 (Historic Preservation Advisory Body): The commission adopted code amendments defining historic‑board terms and quorum rules. The ordinance sets initial staggering of terms (three members with two‑year initial terms, four members with four‑year initial terms) and then standard four‑year appointments beginning May 2028. The ordinance passed on second reading by a 5–0 vote.
