Proposals are due by June 12, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at the Clerk of Courts, 108 North Jefferson Street, Suite 102, Perry, Florida 32347. 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.

Minutes
This document is a summary of a special workshop meeting of the Taylor County Board of County Commissioners held on May 28, 2026, to discuss the Governor's proposed constitutional amendment regarding property taxes. The amendment, if approved, would significantly increase the homestead property tax exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with a goal of full elimination of homestead property taxes. It would also reduce non-homestead assessment caps to 5% and restrict the uses of ad valorem tax revenues. The potential impact on Taylor County's budget is estimated at a loss of $1,626,642.16 in 2027 and $2,022,772.67 in 2028. A key concern is the lack of a guaranteed funding formula for grants to offset these revenue losses. The Governor's office has proposed a special legislative session from June 1-3, 2026, to consider this amendment. The document details the legislative process required for the amendment to reach the ballot in November 2026.
