Commission approves lien removal, Dewberry task order, opioid-resolution participation and other routine items
Summary
Holmes County commissioners approved a package of routine administrative items including removal of a satisfied lien, a Dewberry task order for a boat-landing design backed by a Fish and Wildlife grant, participation in the opioid settlement, and a contract change order closeout; a proposed property swap by the development commission was discussed but not approved.
At the meeting the Board approved several routine administrative and grant-related items.
Staff reported a mortgage lien from 1996 on property at Route 1 Box 460 in Westville has been satisfied; the board authorized removing the lien and authorized the chair to sign documents to that effect.
The commission approved a task order authorizing Dewberry to perform design work on the Cort Harris boat landing, a project supported by a Fish and Wildlife Commission grant and with Dewberry listed as the design consultant. Commissioners asked about permitting (Army Corps) and the timing of design and permitting steps.
Staff presented a change order for the January project that reduced the contract by $198,972.01 and asked for signatures to close the project with DOT; the board approved the change order and directed staff on sign-off procedures.
The board approved a resolution to submit a grant request to the Florida Commerce community planning technical assistance program to establish a GIS baseline and interactive public web map; staff noted the program requires no local match. The county attorney also recommended the county participate in the opioid settlement agreement (resolution 26-06); commissioners approved that resolution and noted funds must be used in accordance with the settlement terms.
A development commission offer to exchange county-owned and development-commission properties (a recycling center and the Gulf Power Building) was presented to the attorney and discussed but was not approved at the meeting; commissioners asked for more information before any action.
These items were approved as part of the meeting’s consent and administrative agenda; staff will complete related paperwork and follow-up with detailed schedules as needed.
