Live Oak council approves multiple resolutions, awards audit and grant-administration contracts
Summary
The City of Live Oak City Council unanimously approved a series of routine resolutions and contract awards — including audit services and two grant-administration contracts — adopted a formal bid-protest policy and signed on to the county’s mitigation strategy.
The City of Live Oak City Council on Monday approved a package of routine resolutions and contract awards that the council said were required to move several finance and community-development items forward.
On the consent calendar the council approved Resolution 2026-09 and then took two contract actions: Resolution 2026-11 accepted a bid from Baker Tilly for auditing services for the finance department with a contract not to exceed $25,000, and Resolution 2026-12 authorized execution of a State Highway Lighting Maintenance and Compensation Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for the 2026–27 fiscal year (the amount cited in the discussion was approximately $95,674). Councilmembers said the city will perform the maintenance and FDOT will provide compensation under the agreement.
The council also rescinded two earlier, incorrectly issued CDBG-related items (Resolutions 2026-01/2026-02) and reissued corrected actions under Resolutions 2026-13 and 2026-14.
On separate motions the council awarded two grant-administration contracts. RFP06-2026 was awarded to Cornerstone Community Partners of St. Petersburg for grant-administration services with a contract not to exceed $22,500; the council approved the related Resolution 2026-15. The council also awarded RFP7206 for the CDBG neighborhood revitalization project to Fred Fox Enterprises of St. Augustine with a bid not to exceed $189,000 and approved Resolution 2026-16 to accept and execute that contract.
Council members approved Resolution 2026-17 to amend the traffic-signal maintenance and compensation agreement with FDOT and adopted a formal bid protest policy under Resolution 2026-18. A council member explained the new protest policy was drafted to establish timelines, designate who receives protests and set the procedure for eventual council consideration; the speaker said the city lacked a formal written protest procedure before this adoption.
Finally, the council approved Resolution 2026-19 adopting the county-prepared local mitigation strategy required by state law so the municipality can rely on the county plan rather than drafting a separate mitigation document.
All of these items were approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting minutes; individual roll-call tallies and names were not recorded in the transcript.
