# Board Of County Commission (Putnam, FL) Meeting- 10-13-26

The Putnam County Board of County Commissioners and Port Authority meeting on October 13, 2026, included several procurement and funding actions. The board approved a $949,861 purchase order to the vendor identified in the transcript as Reese/Reason Technologies for gasification-plant integration design and related engineering; the work is tied to an additional $900,000 Commerce grant allocation, with reimbursement expected and the vendor responsible for cost overruns. The board also approved $178,605 for ERP consulting services through a Florida Department of Management Services contract, to be reimbursed from a legislative appropriation, and approved an ERP financial-system intent-to-fund agreement (Resolution 2026-076). Commissioners noted that the ERP replacement is a multiyear effort expected to cost more than the initial appropriation and said staff should report on other potential funding sources. Consent items P and Q, concerning emergency generators for lift stations and water systems, were approved; commissioners said grant funding covered the match and remaining costs. The Port Authority manager requested that the dock rehabilitation item be pulled to add an electrical component in coordination with FPL; no approval of the revised work was recorded.

The board also accepted a $65,000 CPTA grant for economic-development planning, intended to develop an implementation plan and position the county to pursue future state and federal funding—not to fund construction. Other discussions included a proposed historical marker to be funded from discretionary dollars and potential improvements to the Fort Gates Ferry landing and fairgrounds sign, without a procurement award recorded for those projects. The board approved moving forward with animal-ordinance citation provisions, including categories of violations and escalating fine limits. Public comment focused extensively on animal welfare and enforcement, as well as concerns about a proposed landfill in neighboring Flagler County; no related contract or purchasing action was identified.
