The grants are for the DMH Hardening of Facility ($2,500,000), Steinhatchee Road Paving Project ($1,050,000), and Public Safety Complex-Emergency Shelter Project ($4,969,425). Administrative fees will be paid 100% from grant funds. [Keaton Beach and Steinhatchee] AVCON, Inc. presented findings from the Keaton Beach and Steinhatchee Boat Ramps By-Pass Feasibility Study. The study, funded by a RESTORE Act Pot 3 grant of $383,665 ($350,000 for the study, $33,665 retained by Balmoral), analyzed alternatives for by-passes and roadway widening. The study is a planning exercise only, with no immediate construction funding programmed. Alternative KB-3 (widening existing roadway) was identified as providing the biggest improvement for the investment with reduced impact, but faces challenges with permitting, limited right-of-way, and maintenance of traffic during construction. Findings include sandy soil over limestone with a high water table, requiring removal of unsuitable soils. Taylor County Board of County Commissioners considered adoption of resolutions to reflect unanticipated monies in the General Fund and Small County Surtax Fund. For the General Fund, $12,659 was added for Donation (revenue), $11,400 for County Extension, $872 for Other Salaries & Wages, and $387 for FICA/Medicare Taxes, totaling $25,318. This was for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2026. For the Small County Surtax Fund, budget changes were made to reflect unanticipated monies for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2026, including adjustments to Cash Brought Forward, 1% Sales Tax Reserve/Capital, 1% Sheriff's Sales Reserve/Capital, and 1% DMH Sales Allocation/Capital.

The Taylor County Development Authority (TCDA) reviewed the application and found it complete and eligible. The TCDA recommends a 50% tax exemption for 5 years, consistent with their scoring matrix, though the Board of County Commissioners has discretion up to 100% for 10 years. The restaurant was previously demolished by a hurricane, and legal counsel believes rebuilding constitutes a de facto new business or an expansion. The project involves $3,500,000 in real property capital investment and $335,000 in tangible personal property capital investment, with an anticipated creation of 20 full-time jobs at $18.00/hour. The TCDA scored the application 8 out of 18, with the highest points for Phase of Operation and Capital Investment.

[108 North Jefferson Street, Suite 102, Perry, Florida 32347 (for proposal submission); Pharo Morgan Road, Perry, Florida, 32347; Morgan Whiddon Road, Perry, Florida, 32347; Keaton Beach; Steinhatchee; case 10183, MS045, MS047 (CDBG-DR/MIT contracts); 4734-137-R (Flood Risk Reduction project); H1346 (Contract number for Flood Risk Reduction project)] Taylor County is seeking grant administration services for Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) and Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) projects.

Proposals will be publicly opened on June 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. during a Board of Commissioners meeting. Taylor County is also undertaking flood risk reduction projects with project number 4734-137-R and contract number H1346, involving culvert improvements under Pharo Morgan Road and Morgan Whiddon Road in Perry, Florida. This phase focuses on surveying, engineering, design, plans preparation, permitting, and bidding, with no construction approved yet. The project aims to upgrade from 42-inch Corrugated Aluminum Pipe (CAP) to 3-barrel 3-foot by 6-foot box culverts to address stormwater runoff capacity issues and protect against a 50-year storm event. Additionally, Taylor County is involved in boat ramp improvements at Keaton Beach and Steinhatchee, as detailed in a feasibility report by AVCON, INC. [Keaton Beach Boat Ramp Corridor: 20131 Keaton Beach Road 32348, Perry, FL; Steinhatchee Boat Ramp Corridor: 1st Avenue Southeast between Main Street and 2nd Street East 32359 Steinhatchee, FL] This feasibility report evaluates potential improvements for the Keaton Beach and Steinhatchee boat ramp facilities in Taylor County, Florida, to address localized traffic congestion and operational bottlenecks, particularly during peak seasons. The report examines existing conditions, analyzes traffic data, and proposes several alternatives for each location. For Keaton Beach, alternatives include a 'No-Build' scenario, constructing a bypass road (KB-2), and local roadway widening (KB-3). The bypass road (KB-2) is not recommended due to significant environmental impacts and right-of-way acquisition challenges. Local improvements (KB-3) are considered more cost-effective but limited by existing right-of-way. For Steinhatchee, alternatives include a 'No-Build' scenario (ST-1), improving local roads with a short bypass (ST-2), a medium bypass by connecting existing segments (ST-3), and a long bypass along Central Avenue (ST-4). The short bypass (ST-2) offers limited relief. The medium (ST-3) and long bypass (ST-4) alternatives provide more substantial traffic relief but involve new construction on undeveloped land, leading to higher costs, environmental impacts, and right-of-way acquisition needs. The report also details environmental considerations, geotechnical findings, construction constraints, and utility coordination requirements for all proposed alternatives. Taylor County is considering improvements to boat ramps at Keaton Beach and Steinhatchee. A feasibility report evaluated various alternatives for roadway and drainage enhancements. The report concluded that while local improvements are more cost-efficient, there is greater public interest in projects elsewhere, leading to no further action recommended at this time. The data serves as a baseline for future consideration if priorities change. Traffic analysis indicates current levels of service are adequate through 2050, with modest growth projections. Geotechnical reports for Steinhatchee drainage improvements at 4th Street/Allen Lane and 13th Street East/Central Avenue detail subsurface conditions and provide recommendations for culvert and drainage designs, noting slightly to moderately aggressive soil conditions for steel and concrete. [4th Street and Allen Lane; 13th Street East and Central Avenue; case NV5 Project No. 24-0629] This document is a Geotechnical Engineering Report for the Steinhatchee Drainage Improvements project, located in Taylor County, Florida, specifically at 4th Street and Allen Lane, and 13th Street East and Central Avenue. The report details soil conditions, including SPT N-values, soil models, internal friction angles, unit weights, unconfined compression, and modulus of subgrade reaction. It provides recommendations for retaining walls, box culvert foundations, and concrete end-wall foundations. Key findings include that soils are slightly to moderately aggressive for steel and concrete. The report also discusses construction considerations such as dewatering, clearing and grubbing, and embankment recommendations. Specific recommendations for box culvert foundations at 4th Street, Station 301+00, indicate a nominal bearing capacity of 5,500 psf and an allowable bearing capacity of 2,475 psf. Concrete end-wall foundations are recommended with an allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 psf and a modulus of subgrade reaction of 50 pci. The report also includes detailed soil boring logs and laboratory test results. [case 01551] Modification #1 to Subgrant Agreement between the Division of Emergency Management and Taylor County, Florida. The agreement, originally for $5,050,000.00 with a period of performance from April 22, 2024, to June 30, 2026, is amended to extend the period of performance to April 30, 2027. The scope of work includes dredging of Keaton Beach Canal System, Steinhatchee Boat Basin, Canals at Dark Island, Cedar Island, and Dekle Beach. Eligible costs cover dredging, permits, design, engineering, construction, and acquisition of spoil sites. The total budget remains $5,050,000.00.
