Perry approves FDOT sidewalk agreement, will assume maintenance within city limits
Summary
Council reviewed and moved an FDOT construction and maintenance agreement for a sidewalk project (referred to near Ash Street to Green Farm Road) and an accompanying interlocal maintenance agreement with the county; council discussed which side of the road would be affected and confirmed the city will maintain the segment inside city limits once complete.
The City of Perry council on Feb. 10 considered Resolution 2026‑09 to enter a construction and maintenance agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for a sidewalk project described as running from Ash Street north toward Green Farm Road. An interlocal maintenance agreement with the county for the same project was also presented.
Speaker 4 told the council the segment in question lies inside city limits and that "we're gonna take maintenance back over once the project's complete." Council members asked clarifying questions about which side of the road the sidewalk would be built on; Speaker 4 answered that staff did not yet have a confirmed side and that the county had made minor language changes to the interlocal agreement that staff accepted.
Why it matters: construction and maintenance agreements with FDOT and interlocal maintenance terms determine long‑term responsibility for upkeep and costs for pedestrian infrastructure. The transcript records motions and seconds for both the FDOT agreement and the interlocal agreement, but a formal roll‑call vote or tally is not included in the record.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the agreements and return any final documents as necessary. The council confirmed maintenance responsibility for the in‑city segment will transfer to the city after construction.
