Summary
The board approved Resolution 2025-38B authorizing issuance of general obligation bonds up to $6 million and added the Charlotte Zitlow Justice Center remodel and courthouse repairs to the project list; the resolution mirrors a prior action and was described as a clean new resolution for bonding.
Monroe County commissioners on Oct. 2 approved Resolution 2025‑38B authorizing issuance of general obligation bonds in an amount up to $6 million and updated the project list to add remodel and repair work for the Charlotte Zitlow Justice Center and repairs to the historic courthouse.
County staff said the resolution is essentially the same as one considered weeks earlier during county council budget discussions; Exhibit A (the project list) was updated to clarify specific projects such as a street sweeper and highway vehicles and to explicitly add the justice building remodel and courthouse work. Staff told commissioners the changes do not remove items previously on the list and said the new resolution will be used when the bonds are marketed and sold to provide a clean authorization for borrowing.
Commissioners characterized the change as largely technical and voted 2–0 to approve the resolution; no public comment was recorded during the Oct. 2 meeting.
