1. Mental Health Proclamation

Highlands County is considering a proclamation to recognize May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness and Trauma-Informed Care Month. This initiative highlights the importance of mental well-being and addresses elevated rates of mental health challenges within the county. The proclamation aims to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and promote access to services. While this is a proclamation and does not involve direct construction, it signals a community focus on mental health support. This could lead to future needs for services and resources related to mental health awareness campaigns, educational programs, and community support initiatives. Businesses and service providers focused on mental health, education, and community outreach may find opportunities to align with these goals as the county emphasizes these areas.

3. 4-01-2025 - (Amendment 1 - Lake June Lagoon)

Highlands County and Lake June Pontoons, LLC are amending their existing agreement for a project on Lake June. The original agreement, made on April 1, 2025, requires the contractor to establish an inflatable waterpark. This waterpark was planned to be completed in three phases, with one phase each fiscal year, starting in FY 2024-2025. Due to delays in receiving materials, the first phase was not completed as scheduled. This amendment addresses those unforeseen circumstances. The project involves establishing an inflatable waterpark on Lake June, with work likely to include site preparation, installation of waterpark features, and ongoing maintenance. This item is currently under review as an amendment to an existing contract. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work related to waterpark operations, maintenance, or related services should consider reaching out to Lake June Pontoons, LLC early in the process.

A. Request approval of BA 25-26-079 transfer of funding to appropriate accounts

This item concerns a request to approve a transfer of funds for a standby generator at Fire Station 33. The total amount involved is $31,122.00. This funding transfer is intended to correct how costs are split between the Fire Assessment fund and the EMS fund. Specifically, it adjusts the allocation from the Fire Assessment fund and to the EMS fund, and moves funds from a contingency reserve account to a machinery and equipment account. This is a planned administrative action, meaning it is early in the process. The work would involve the installation of a standby generator, which could include site preparation, electrical connections, and potentially some concrete work for a pad. Contractors specializing in electrical work, generator installation, and possibly site preparation could be involved. Reaching out to the county or fire department now, before final approvals and contractor selection, could provide an advantage.
