# Board of County Commission Meeting Putnam (FL)- 11-10-26

The Putnam County Board of County Commissioners meeting on November 10, 2026 included updates on county capital projects and infrastructure procurement. Port Putnam has secured nearly $6 million in capital funding—$4.77 million for marine bulkhead construction and $1.2 million for docking infrastructure—and received an additional $2.6 million in funding; bulkhead engineering and Army Corps coordination are underway, with construction targeted for early 2027. Preliminary design for the Veteran Services and IT building is approved, with a construction bid expected in the first quarter of 2027. Countywide fiscal-year 2026 resurfacing bids have been received and are expected to come to the board for award at its next meeting. Staff also reported that mobile lift-station generators are under contract, guard-rail repairs under Bid 2618 are awarded and underway, and several other facility, water, wastewater, and road projects are in progress. The board approved adding a short Silver Lake Drive/Hunter Road segment to the dirt-to-pave list; no new construction contract award was made during the meeting.

The Tourism Development Council reported that the county funded 52 events through event grants and engaged an advertising agency, while developing a tourism website and related marketing materials. Commissioners scheduled a Port Authority workshop for November 24 to discuss port operations, leases, construction commencement, governance and potential board membership. The board also discussed a possible comprehensive-plan change concerning existing planned-unit developments and directed staff to assess how many properties could be affected and develop a proposal for future consideration. Other actions included approval of road-vacation resolutions and a temporary road closure for the Melrose Christmas parade; no procurement activity was identified in those actions.
