Board adopts CIP and budget amendments; recognizes additional state funds for County Road 220 CEI work
Summary
The Clay County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 14 adopted amendments to the capital improvement plan and county budget that recognize new state funding for County Road 220 construction inspection and add $400,000 for bonded-road land purchases.
The Clay County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved ordinances and resolutions on Jan. 14 to amend the capital improvement plan and make related budget adjustments, including money tied to County Road 220 and bonding-area land purchases.
The board approved the capital-improvement ordinance and a companion budget resolution in separate votes, each passing 5-0. Budget staff presented the package during a public hearing and said the changes include an additional state contribution to County Road 220 and a $400,000 appropriation for a bonded-road project land purchase.
Reg Cantor, Clay County budget manager, told the board: “County Road 220 is receiving an additional $72,008.71 from the state towards CEI costs,” and added that the bonded-road amendment “will provide $400,000 for land purchases.” Cantor also summarized several other grant and ARPA budget actions included in the package.
Commissioners opened a public hearing before voting and received no public comment specific to the ordinance and resolution. After the votes, Chairwoman and county staff moved on to other agenda items.
The amendments were adopted on 5-0 votes. The board recorded the passage of the capital-improvement ordinance first, then approved the non‑CIP budget resolution and the general budget resolution in a combined vote.
County staff said the additional state funds are intended to reduce the county’s share of construction engineering and inspection (CEI) costs on County Road 220; a separate FDOT representative and staff earlier in the meeting had described the LAP recertification that clears the county to receive federal funds for local agency projects.
The board did not set additional conditions on the new money during the votes; staff will implement the adopted budget amendments and report back through routine fiscal reporting and project updates.
