Holly Hill commission approves utility‑conversion contract, budget amendments and lien reduction
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a CEI services contract with Mead and Hunt, accepted several grant revenue adjustments to the final budget (including VOCA, CDBG, traffic signal and Florida Inland Navigation grants) and cleared a code‑enforcement lien on 1100 Ridgewood Avenue for $3,999.53 in staff costs.
At the meeting the Holly Hill City Commission approved several noncontroversial items on the regular agenda, including a consultant contract, budget amendments and a lien reduction.
The commission approved Resolution 2025‑R‑96 to authorize an agreement with Mead & Hunt, Inc. for construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for a phase of the overhead‑to‑underground utility conversion project at a cost of $68,720.40. The item had been considered earlier by the CRA and the commission confirmed the contract by unanimous vote.
Staff also presented a final amendment to the adopted budget (Resolution 2025‑R‑98) required by Florida statute to reconcile revenues and expenditures for the prior fiscal year. The staff summary listed several adjustments that were incorporated into the amendment: an increase to the VOCA victim‑advocate grant by $10,118; Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) revenue of $97,319 for school‑zone improvements; traffic‑signal maintenance revenue of $42,184; and recording a Florida Inland Navigation grant of $440,000. Staff also noted a decrease in carry‑forward budget for hurricane debris pickup of $800,000 reflecting actual expenditures.
Separately, staff requested elimination of outstanding code‑enforcement fines on a property at 1100 Ridgewood Avenue and to record only real and staff costs of $3,999.53 so the site can move forward under new contract purchasers. The commission approved the lien reduction unanimously.
The commission also conducted the first reading of Ordinance 3,093 to place a proposed charter amendment on the ballot for the Nov. 3, 2026 general election; commissioners thanked the Charter Review Committee and approved the item to proceed to the next step in the process.
All of these items were approved without recorded objection; final implementation steps (contract execution, grant accounting, lien processing and voter materials for the charter amendment) will be handled by city staff.
