The agenda states that the board may take action on anything listed and that items may be considered in a different order than shown.
Key Items on the Agenda
Veteran’s Plaza
The agenda includes a discussion concerning the Veteran’s Plaza. The agenda does not specify a proposed action, financial amount, or recommendation associated with the discussion.
Drainage District Matters
Several drainage-related items are scheduled for board consideration:
- DD1 MOD repairs: Approval of grass-buffer damage reimbursement.
- Drainage District No. 6: Appointment of reclassification commissioners.
- Drainage claims: Approval of drainage claim or claims presented to the board.
- Drainage District No. 25: Consideration of a request for repairs to Lateral 48-9-14.
- Drainage District No. 46: Consideration of a request for repairs to the Main Tile.
The tentative agenda does not provide dollar amounts for the reimbursement, drainage claims, or requested repairs.
Clay County Connection Trail
The board is scheduled to consider two final project items for the 2024 DCTB Clay County Connection Trail, NRT-C030(68)—9G-30:
- Approval of the Statement of Completion and Final Acceptance of Work.
- Approval of Pay Application #8 (final) and Change Order #2, totaling $9,311.24.
These items indicate the project is at a final acceptance and payment stage, but the agenda itself does not document the board's decision on either proposed action.
Under County Engineer business, the board is scheduled to consider approval of Mediacom Communications’ Application for Construction of Utilities on County Highway ROW.
The agenda does not provide additional information about the proposed route, project cost, construction schedule, or specific permit conditions.
Routine Board Business
The agenda also includes several regular administrative matters:
- Pledge of Allegiance.
- Approval of the August 11, 2026 Board Meeting Minutes.
- Approval of claims listed on the August 25, 2026 Claims Register.
- General discussion and board and committee reports.
- Adjournment.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The agenda leaves several details to be developed during the meeting. Items of particular public interest include the scope and next steps associated with the Veteran’s Plaza discussion; the proposed reimbursement and repair work involving multiple drainage districts; final acceptance and the $9,311.24 final payment/change-order item for the Clay County Connection Trail; and the details of Mediacom Communications’ proposed utility construction within county highway right-of-way.
Because this is a tentative pre-meeting agenda, these items represent matters scheduled for consideration rather than documented outcomes.
