Local city information for Deltona, FL
Deltona is a city located in southwestern Volusia County, Florida. According to 2008 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the city has a population of 85,921; it is the largest city in Volusia County. Deltona is a principal city of the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area, which the census bureau estimated had a 2006 population of 496,575. Deltona is also a principal city in the Fun Coast region of the state of Florida.
In 1962 the Mackle Brothers bought 17,203 acres, filed for a planned unit development with 35,143 lots and named the area Deltona. The first Deltona residents arrived in April 1963. By the end of that year 78 families had arrived in Deltona. Deltona was laid out by the Mackle brothers who have a street reverse-named in their honor (Elkcam). Deltona formed from the Mackle brothers idea of "community". The area is mainly populated by younger families living in single-family homes. Due to its proximity to Orlando and its theme parks via I-4, the area grew very rapidly between 1970 and 2000, and Deltona has served as a bedroom community for commuters to Orlando. Residents voted to incorporate as a city on 31 December 1995, after two previous attempts had failed in 1987 and 1990.
Deltona is centrally located between Daytona Beach and Orlando and is considered to be an "edge city" of Orlando. Deltona abuts the rural communities of Cassadaga, Enterprise and Osteen. It is adjacent to the cities of Orange City and DeBary. Police protection is provided through inter-local agreement with the Volulsia County Sheriff's Office.
Deltona is home to the Lyonia Preserve, a 360 acre joint project of Volusia County Land Acquisition and Management and the Volusia County School Board. The federally threatened Florida Scrub Jay lives on the preserve.
The current City Commission is composed of:
Mayor Dennis Mulder, Term Expires: Nov. 2010
Vice Mayor Michael Carmolingo - District 6, Term Expires: Nov. 2012
Commissioner Zenaida Denizac - District 1, Term Expires: Nov. 2010

Vice Mayor Carmolingo was voted into an unprecedented 2nd term as Vice-Mayor while this position has traditionally passed on to a different commissioner each year.
In February 2008, the City Commission voted (6 for, 1 against) to accept a Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) with Volusia County for the development of County Road 415 that runs along the edge of Deltona's city limits. The JPA limits the ability of the city to fully develop commercial districts in the best interests of its residents as any change must be agreed upon jointly by the Volusia County Council and the Deltona City Commission.
A committee was appointed to consider revisions to the Deltona City Charter and were voted on in the November 2008 election cycle.

Growth Management – The City will support legislation that fully funds state growth management mandates; increases technical assistance for implementing state growth management requirements; provides cities with revenue sources to meet financial feasibility requirements and infrastructure demands; revises concurrency requirements to address urban sprawl, urban infill and redevelopment; and ensures municipal control over land use planning within their jurisdiction.
Transportation – The City will support legislation that provides for an equitable, dedicated and recurring revenue source for city transportation projects. The City will support legislation that prohibits the FDOT from eliminating, deferring, or delaying capacity improvement projects contained in the five year work plan when the projects are within three years of construction and the removal of the project will adversely impact the comprehensive plan of the city.
Environmental Permits – The City will support legislation that improves public notice and participation in state environ-mental permitting processes which requires notification by state agencies to city governments of permit applications made within the city’s jurisdiction.
2008 also marks the 2nd year the Florida Division of Forestry awarded Deltona, the Tree City USA award.
