Live Oak council approves CDBG application, interlocal agreement and awards streetscape light contract
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025‑10 to apply for a CDBG housing rehabilitation grant with a $50,000 city leverage commitment, approved an interlocal agreement with Suwannee County for improvements along 68 (referred to in transcript as "68 Paris"), and awarded a contract for streetscape light poles to City Electric Company of Live Oak.
At the meeting the City Council of the City of Live Oak took three formal actions: it approved an application for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), authorized an interlocal agreement with Suwannee County on a roadway/sewer corridor improvement, and awarded a procurement for streetscape light poles.
Resolution 2025‑10 The council approved Resolution 2025‑10, authorizing the chief elected official or the city manager (in the mayor's absence) to apply to the Florida Department of Commerce for a FY 2023–2024 Small Cities CDBG in the housing rehabilitation category and committing $50,000 in city funds to be used as leverage if the CDBG award is made. A motion to accept Resolution 2025‑10 was made and seconded; council members responded "Aye" and the resolution passed.
Resolution 2025‑11 (Interlocal agreement) Council approved Resolution 2025‑11, authorizing execution of an interlocal agreement between Suwannee County and the City of Live Oak to coordinate responsibilities for improvements along "68 Paris" as described in the meeting record (transcript). Staff described the work as improving sewage flow toward the county's master pump station to shorten runs to the city's waste facility; the interlocal agreement coordinates contractor responsibilities and maintenance. A motion and second were recorded and the resolution passed with all members voting "Aye."
RFP award — streetscape light poles City staff reported one bid was received for the procurement (referred to in the transcript as PO 3‑2025 or PO3.20.5).

The transcript recorded the bid as $41,007.78 for 22 fixtures on Highway 90 and a separate figure recorded as "3400182" for 18 fixtures on 129; staff recommended a single contract totaling the combined amount, recorded in the transcript as $75.09 60 for 40 streetscape fixtures along U.S. 90 and State Road 129. The council authorized contracting with City Electric Company of Live Oak for the streetscape lights; a motion and second were recorded and the item passed with council voting "Aye."
