The work will be implemented using PrimeX Controls equipment and includes allowances for conduit and level transducers at multiple stations.

Director of Public Works and Utilities Chris Forehand explained the city is under a Florida Department of Environmental Protection consent order (No. 23-0911) related to previous sewer overflows and reporting deficiencies. Forehand said the original civil penalty was $170,271; he told the commission that to use an in-kind project to address the consent order the value must be 1.5 times the fine, which “resulted in $255,406.” Forehand said the SCADA proposal is turnkey—equipment, installation and implementation—and includes an allowance for conduit at about 20 stations and level transducers at about 57 stations.

Forehand and staff described the operational benefits: SCADA will alert staff before an alarm condition escalates, enabling earlier response and helping reduce spills and backups. Staff ran a selection process that included demonstrations and recommended PrimeX Controls as the vendor most suited to the city’s lift-station characteristics.

Forehand provided the staff estimate and scope and characterized the purchase as an in-kind project under DEP rules; DEP must approve expenses tied to the consent order. Commissioners said installing SCADA now will mitigate operational risk and avoid paying the fine outright; one commissioner called the approach “innovative” for leveraging the in-kind option. The motion to approve passed unanimously: Commissioner Peebles — yes; Commissioner Purnell — yes; Commissioner Ward — yes; Commissioner Tender — yes; Mayor Jesse Nelson — yes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","06/10.2025 City of Lynn Haven Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a not-to-exceed $667,508 proposal from Jim House & Associates (PrimeX Controls) to install a SCADA system across the city's lift stations as an in-kind project under DEP consent order 23-0911; the project is intended to reduce overflows and offset a $170,271 fine.","taxTitle","Lynn Haven, Bay County, Florida","taxId",52331,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6205381,"Lynn Haven grants 12-month extension for M and M Market development order",224,3397000,3621000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3772921-6883e8f5c44d2b504db6dc668c1e4d91&start=3397&end=3621","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3772921-6883e8f5c44d2b504db6dc668c1e4d91/thumbnail_3397000.jpg","/articles/6205381/Lynn-Haven/Bay-County/Florida/Lynn-Haven-grants-12-month-extension-for-M-and-M-Market-development-order","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205381-cd01a237940cd404c7cb419583a09a09/orig.mp4?Expires=1775872109&Signature=RJQUCmLGhKFrgngQWAHchowdxVyg2wjr2KKyHsoqqBxB6nEM7Ad6GsN6eD-o5jWJLjlVBjhFupUlqdEBqfREHeLCE6I-TU4QWmVMm5ndgWbS1m3tU9~xbvH-tS9gFpeGZHkyEyWdFEWPTldZU0NoM-61N9RmJDH2xUqSUKdmAuVGuYL4lIntHzTyFfNwZH-MzKrfOh3kCK~5FX5-tTCy~YsLCZCQeyFBgG8aKB3wsOfEmC3X0AA2yPkl2ybbFwrjFJ-DPf0YdFhx9hZloitNcBWfmGPrlBjutiXiCjNim2W3uJl0rYkSTCiV5jmvAdqSXvPTLdKys3xmC2WplA5Rjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lynn Haven City Commission on June 10 approved a 12-month extension to the development order for M and M Market, a convenience store at 1201 Ohio Avenue that is planning an expansion and stormwater work.

Planning staff described the original development order, approved in September 2023, which authorized expansion of the store plus construction of stormwater facilities, additional parking and landscaping. The applicant previously requested an extension because the property was used for several months as a laydown yard by Bay County and the Florida Department of Transportation during the Twelfth Street widening project.

Planning staff said construction has not begun; the applicant reported increased material costs and requested additional time to assemble materials and begin work. Commissioner Purnell, citing roughly eight months of staging on the site, moved to grant another 12-month extension; the motion carried unanimously.

The extension runs from the original expiration in September 2025 for an additional 12 months, giving the applicant time to restart the project and comply with current permitting and stormwater standards.","The commission approved a 12-month extension for the development order for M and M Market at 1201 Ohio Avenue, citing delays caused when Bay County and FDOT used the site as a laydown yard for nearby road work.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6205385,"Lynn Haven allows temporary front-yard portable storage units; commission raises height limit and extends temporary period",439,2932000,3371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3772921-6883e8f5c44d2b504db6dc668c1e4d91&start=2932&end=3371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3772921-6883e8f5c44d2b504db6dc668c1e4d91/thumbnail_2932000.jpg","/articles/6205385/Lynn-Haven/Bay-County/Florida/Lynn-Haven-allows-temporary-front-yard-portable-storage-units-commission-raises-height-limit-and-extends-temporary-period","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205385-9933e07e4177d59594a007d7e9149dec/orig.mp4?Expires=1775872109&Signature=ehdnStuZW4bApdHK1tCMBh6e37~GxdhMzIBy4aFNJ49WECtQEBz2VqmhJ8edb0PsQ5ZPMkdrRbj2B0AA6ZwUsv78Tibnid7FfCZDwVpEy4GjdIuUN6so8Lbip7mImx1rtyiTttU-flOFc-Iv5juMwbqWu~cLxqCh1kQntMSX6NepXvRJSi1ziEDJnvP1NeSIczvC5-6fqM~-ub2XkHHbmd2-p~vHiDVK~d-ihD6ceD8j6mjny8UZzfD5zvJN6Amv6cT7DojNJyxi43o98B9gBGsoc0gTGPlSFn3T-5Nyhqnl2AAB~WWOXSYl0W1hsQNklS3AvjFZsub82YUXwwH1fw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lynn Haven City Commission on June 10 approved Ordinance 1181, amending the Unified Land Development Code to address portable storage units and to permit temporary placement in front yards under specified conditions.

City Attorney Amy Myers explained the ordinance covers size and location limits, temporary front-yard placement and requires anchoring of permanent accessory structures. The ordinance text originally set a 10-day temporary allowance; during public comment and discussion the commission amended the ordinance to permit a 10-foot maximum height (up from 9 feet in the draft) and to extend the temporary placement period to 30 days.

Resident Lloyd Keel told the commission that many portable structures are 9 feet 6 inches tall in commercial manufacture and suggested both a higher allowable height and a longer temporary window. Commissioner Peebles and other commissioners endorsed those changes; Peebles moved to approve the ordinance with the two amendments and Commissioner Purnell seconded. Myers and the city manager confirmed the extension to the temporary allowance may be granted by written approval of the city manager. The commission set the ordinance’s effective date as the day of passage.

The motion passed unanimously: Commissioner Peebles — yes; Commissioner Purnell — yes; Commissioner Ward — yes; Commissioner Tender — yes; Mayor Jesse Nelson — yes.","The commission approved Ordinance 1181 to permit temporary portable storage units in front yards, amended during the meeting to raise the maximum height to 10 feet and to extend the allowed temporary placement from 10 to 30 days, with extensions available by city manager approval.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6205389,"Lynn Haven adopts annual cycle for peddler permits, keeps $1,000 bond requirement",76,2656000,2732000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3772921-6883e8f5c44d2b504db6dc668c1e4d91&start=2656&end=2732","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3772921-6883e8f5c44d2b504db6dc668c1e4d91/thumbnail_2656000.jpg","/articles/6205389/Lynn-Haven/Bay-County/Florida/Lynn-Haven-adopts-annual-cycle-for-peddler-permits-keeps-1000-bond-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205389-76d580d12482891c27b74bff61b24364/orig.mp4?Expires=1775872109&Signature=cgoGZkuTXN-Q2sDHZD4dEHm3~33bNexpKNVwAUe3~usL9tXHlhsF6UhF5xhFEowhcFd5L8zDEdEZ6QVTUW9kF6-vTzwkWdtU8BiKak6~WfJtl2ju9e1srFQp1~a8mTVUZ-HO4~PRKjmka8Iy56eHqqRO3KIqcZ6XVf0NPouK67Z0BrnqvLB-81dAR5M-z8ket~Zk~5Ir1BlN1~oN0UG0SgExFDIPeNzrWWhYiHD7pdzQvVLXKsweqdTF63~CUI0l~yinVR2Qfs~Ix-vmN12WzW8~B74Xhs-koxOl5xmwmehDyLY1QsP-PToZJt4R9VAOnu4-MWzuBV1qZ6dXbg8IxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lynn Haven City Commission on June 10 adopted Ordinance 1180, revising the city code for peddling permits so permits will expire on Dec. 31 each year and be brought onto a single annual cycle.

City Attorney Amy Myers said the ordinance “provides for expiration of permits annually on December 31” and that current permit holders would be permitted to keep their current permits in force for one year so everyone will transition to the same cycle.

The ordinance updates application and permit elements and assigns administration of the permit program to the Lynn Haven Police Department. Myers told the commission the ordinance retains a $1,000 surety bond requirement and that the bond is per applicant; she added the dollar value is the city’s bond amount and the actual cost to an applicant may be lower. The commission directed staff to return a resolution setting the administrative fee; the ordinance itself does not set that fee.

Commissioners did not change the ordinance language at final reading. The vote was unanimous: Commissioner Purnell — yes; Commissioner Peebles — yes; Commissioner Ward — yes; Commissioner Tender — yes; Mayor Jesse Nelson — yes.

The commission approved the ordinance on final reading with immediate effect. Staff said a separate resolution to set the administrative fee will be brought to a future meeting.","The Lynn Haven City Commission approved Ordinance 1180 on final reading, setting annual December 31 expirations for peddling permits and keeping a $1,000 bond requirement per applicant while deferring the administrative fee to a later resolution.","actionData","errors"]
