Proclamations

The board unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing Amateur Radio Week and acknowledged Clay County Amateur Radio Emergency Service and the Orange Park Amateur Radio Club. The board also adopted a proclamation designating June as Solid Waste Workers Week to honor county solid waste employees and private haulers that serve Clay County.

Consent and Minutes

The board approved the May 27, 2025 meeting minutes and the consent agenda (consisting of items 6 through 11) by voice vote recorded as 4-0. No items were pulled from the consent agenda for separate discussion.

Zoning and Planning

A staff-initiated amendment to the land development code related to non-motorized boat ramps in PPO2 zoning districts (Zone 205-8) was continued at the Planning Commission\u0000\u0000request and the county asked the board to continue the item to the August 12 meeting; the continuation carried 4-0.

Appointments

The board approved the reappointment of Lisa Daniels and Linda Long to the Clay County Housing Finance Authority by unanimous vote, with commissioners noting Long's past service on housing finance matters.

Other ceremonial recognitions included a proclamation honoring the Lake Asbury Junior High Kids Helping Kids Club for raising funds to fulfill a classmate's \"dream\"; the board adopted that proclamation unanimously as well.

Grants staff said the county's 2025 allocation is $1,060,250 in entitlement CDBG funds. The draft action plan currently proposes $760,250 for public infrastructure projects, $150,000 for housing rehabilitation, and $150,000 for administrative costs. Megan Covey said the county has shifted additional funding into public infrastructure in this draft based on prior public feedback.

The public comment period opened June 1 and runs through June 30. Staff listed in-person public meetings that are part of the citizen-participation plan: a meeting in Keystone Heights (held June 9), a session Thursday, June 12 at 6 p.m. at the Middleburg Public Library, and an in-person meeting June 23 at 6 p.m. at the Orange Park Public Library. Members of the public may also submit written comment by email to cdbg@claycountygov.com or deliver comments to the grants office at 420 College Drive, Suite 107.

No members of the public spoke at Tuesday's meeting during the hearing. Staff said they plan to return to the board with a final draft for adoption at the July 8 meeting.

Grants staff told commissioners the county anticipates approximately $1,400,000 in funds and recommended distributing the money across three locally administered programs: continued support for Clay County Paramedicine\u0000\u0000to staff a 24-hour response truck; support for Clay Behavioral Health Center's coordinated opioid recovery program (CORE); and support for the Clay County Jail's medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program.

Megan Covey of the grants department presented the proposals and said the county will prepare funding agreements and return with a continuing resolution to allow the county manager to execute the documents. Representatives from Clay Behavioral Health and the Clay County Sheriff's Office attended the meeting to answer commissioner questions.

During discussion, a Clay Behavioral Health representative, identified in the meeting as Irene, said a previously funded paramedicine location at a Middleburg Winn-Dixie had been vacated after utilization declined; the paramedicine service has transitioned to mobile operations. County staff said the treatment center work is funded from a different funding stream and will continue.

A motion to approve the three substance use disorder abatement projects passed by voice vote, recorded as 4-0 in favor.

Staff will execute funding agreements under a continuing resolution and return with any required contract documents.

County staff told the board the magistrate\u0000\u0000had issued a clarification under the Florida Land Use and Environmental Dispute Resolution Act (section 70.51, Florida Statutes) that the rehearing should be \"a new hearing just before the board\" using the record from the earlier public hearing and without taking any new evidence. The magistrate and the applicant agreed that the board may either replay the original hearing video or consider the transcript of the December hearing. Staff proposed attaching the transcript to the July 8 agenda so commissioners would have time to read the record before that meeting.

A motion to accept the magistrate's clarification, attach the transcript to the agenda, and hold the rehearing on July 8 passed 4-0. The board noted that there will be no additional public testimony at the rehearing and that commissioners will disclose any ex parte communications on the record.

The item traces to a December hearing on the developer's planned unit development. County staff said the applicant is not proposing different project plans for this rehearing; the judge's clarification was intended to set the appropriate process steps under section 70.51, Florida Statutes.

The presentation by Ed Dendorf, the county\u0000\u0000bonded transportation program administrator, covered multiple corridors. County Road 218 work is continuing, with liner placement on a pond site and installation of drainage structures; Dendorf reported the project is on schedule with 39% of contract value paid and 65% of the scheduled time used. On a SeaMark Group 2 segment along County Road 209, crews continued stormwater pipe installation and base placement; that phase is 47% paid and 33% of its time used.

Officials said County Route 220 remains contingent on an Army Corps of Engineers permit; the corps\u0000\u0000public notice period closed and the county expects a Corps decision in the coming weeks. Survey work for proposed pond sites is complete and environmental and geotechnical fieldwork is under way; the project team plans a permit modification if the Corps issues the underlying permit.

Dendorf said a reclaimed-water as-built drawing from Clay County Utility Authority (CCUA) conflicted with the county\u0000\u0000stormwater layout on a separate segment that links to Cannon Road 209B (project 3B). CCUA mobilized its own contractor to relocate its reclaimed line on the south side of Sand Ridge and to relocate a water main on the north side, rather than the county redesigning storm drainage.

Sand Ridge Road resurfacing work is being completed by the contractor at no cost to the county after the earlier work did not meet county specifications, and the resurfacing is being performed mostly at night. On Cathedral Oak Parkway the contractor\u0000\u0000reported schedule contention: Dendorf said 112% of contract time has elapsed while 96% of contract dollars have been paid; county staff and the contractor continue to negotiate schedule resolution.

WGI, the county\u0000\u0000consultant, is supporting program-wide coordination. Dendorf reported the bonded transportation program has expended $123,000,000 as of June 3.

Commissioners asked program staff about the quality of earlier as-builts and inspection practices; staff noted historical differences between CCUA and county inspection processes and said the agencies now coordinate more closely to reduce future conflicts.

The capital projects team also provided separate updates. Highlights included three new five-bay fire stations in varying stages: Fire Station 22 (Fleming Island) with construction drawings released; Fire Station 12 (Middleburg) with development plans approved and stormwater easement negotiations with CCUA under way; and Fire Station 20 (Green Cove Springs), under construction and about 90% complete with a ribbon-cutting forecast for late summer.

Other work reported: installation of portable buildings at county parks for check-in and workspaces, park court lighting procurements, bridge replacement work on County Road 220, and FDOT resurfacing and diverging-diamond interchange work tied to the First Coast Expressway. FDOT continues to perform much of its work at night; county staff advised motorists to follow new pavement markings and signage as traffic patterns shift.

Dendorf asked commissioners to note that some schedules will be adjusted to acknowledge extended permitting delays and that costs and timelines for certain projects remain under negotiation with contractors.

Ending

County staff said they will continue biweekly status meetings with contractors, pursue the Army Corps permit outcomes, and coordinate with CCUA and consultants to resolve design and utility conflicts. Commissioners did not take a vote on the update; staff will return with contract or schedule change items as needed.","Bonded transportation program and capital projects team told commissioners about progress, permitting delays and utility conflicts on multiple road projects; program expenditures reported at $123 million to date.","actionData","errors"]
