Summary
The Holly Hill City Commission unanimously approved several procurement resolutions including a $597,992.50 electrical conversion contract, a $266,813.79 cabling piggyback, purchase of two police vehicles for $113,284.68, a $28,495 lawn-maintenance change order and confirmed a police appointment.
The Holly Hill City Commission on the evening it met approved a series of procurement resolutions that together authorize roughly $1 million in contracts and equipment purchases and confirmed a police appointment.
Mayor John Penny opened the meeting and the commission approved Resolution 2025-R-84, authorizing Carter Electric Company to perform phase 3 of an overhead-to-underground utility conversion project at a cost of $597,992.50 and authorizing the city manager to execute the agreement. Staff read the resolution by title; the motion passed on a unanimous voice vote.
The commission next approved Resolution 2025-R-85, a piggyback of an FDOT agreement (listed in the resolution as BEG78) with Advanced Cabling Solutions Inc. at a cost of $266,813.79 and authorized execution by the city manager. Mayor Penny closed public participation and called for the vote; the body approved the item unanimously.
Officials then approved Resolution 2025-R-86, a piggyback of Charlotte County contract 20250009 to purchase two 2026 police interceptor utility vehicles from Bartow Ford at a total cost of $113,284.68. Following the staff presentation, the commission approved the purchase by voice vote.
The commission also adopted Resolution 2025-R-87, a change order with ABC Express Lawn Care for landscape maintenance of the Public Works Complex and Western Wellfields at an annual cost described in the resolution as $28,495; the presiding officer noted the vote as "4 to 1." The record reflects the motion carried.
Finally, the commission moved and approved Resolution 2025-R-88 to appoint Chris Lawhardt to the police department; the motion to accept the appointment was seconded and carried unanimously.
Mayor Penny repeatedly closed public participation on these consent items and announced the results by voice, including "Aye" responses and the statement that measures "carry unanimously." The items were handled as part of the regular agenda after the body briefly convened as the Community Redevelopment Agency to handle a CRA item.
The actions approved at the meeting are administrative and require execution by the city manager or contracting staff; the commission did not attach additional conditions in the meeting record. No individual roll-call vote-by-name was recorded in the transcript; votes were taken by voice and recorded as passed or carried.
