BOCC Meeting November 10, 2026

The Putnam County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting on November 10, 2026 included a countywide project update with several procurement and capital-project developments. Port Putnam reported nearly $6 million in capital funding, including $4.77 million for marine bulkhead construction and $1.2 million for docking infrastructure, plus a recent $2.6 million Florida funding award. Bulkhead engineering and Army Corps coordination are ongoing, with construction targeted to begin in early 2027. The county expects to issue a bid for construction of the Veteran Services and IT building in the first quarter of 2027. Countywide resurfacing bids are in and are planned for award at the next BOCC meeting; guardrail repair Bid 2618 has been awarded and is under construction. Other updates included ongoing construction of the animal services catio, a previously approved turf project at Melrose Youth Sports Complex, and a $23,000 Game Time discount on replacement playground equipment. A mobile-generator contract was signed October 13, with execution still pending.

The Tourism Development Council reported funding 52 events through event grants and described ongoing tourism marketing, research, and website-development work; no new approval was requested at this presentation. Commissioners scheduled a Port Authority workshop for November 24 to discuss leases and potential offers, port governance and membership, construction commencement, and the port’s future direction. The board also passed resolutions concerning road vacations and a temporary Christmas-parade road closure, and approved a code-enforcement fine settlement of $2,170 (against a stated fine of $95,287); these were not procurement awards. No new contract award vote was identified at the meeting.
