Summary Explanation and Background:
On February 11, 2025, the Board adopted Resolution 2025-010 authorizing the County Manager to execute agreements and all project-related documents for the Ellis Road Widening. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has indicated that Resolution 2025-010 is not acceptable due to it specifically referencing the former County Manager (Frank Abbate) by name. FDOT has requested that the County prepare a new resolution utilizing titles, such as Interim County Manager or County Manager. FDOT has indicated that the new Resolution is acceptable.
