Mount Dora City Council Meeting

Consent Agenda


1. Request approval of Amended Task Authorization/Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for CMAR Services - Palm Island Park Kayak and Canoe Launch (Faden Builders). A modern, ADA-compliant kayak and canoe launch is not currently available at this or any other waterfront City park. The proposed launch will be an access point to the Lake County Blue Way System, a route used by thousands of Florida residents and visitors each year. This particular "trail" guides paddlers through scenic waterways with physical and geo-positioned markers, and is suitable for casual and novice users who are eager to explore the area. The launch can also be used for active recreational programs such as specialty youth summer camps. This project will cost $300,000 of which $240,000 comes from a Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
2. Request approval of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The Mount Dora Police Department has applied for a $4,719 grant that does not require any matching City funds. The grant has been awarded and Council approval of acceptance is requested. MDPD will use grant funds to purchase three (3) new short-barreled rifles (SBRs). The SBRs would be easier for officers to transport and less visible to the children and faculty. The expectation is that the SBRs will make our schools feel less militarized, while keeping the children safe, and keeping the environment more conducive to learning.
3. Request approval of the Piggyback Agreement with Asphalt Paving Systems, Inc., related to Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Continuing Services and authorization to utilize Asphalt Paving Systems, Inc., for annual road repaving in an amount not to exceed $295,432.15. The City of Mount Dora streets require continual maintenance to provide safe and reliable surfaces for driving and/or pedestrian traffic. A well-maintained pavement prevents water from encroaching into the roadway base material, which significantly accelerates deterioration of the paved surface. The proposed resurfacing method consists of sealing cracks in the roadway and performing a micro surface overlay on the selected roadways. Public Works has budgeted for 5 new speed tables to be installed with this contract. The following streets where the speed bumps will be constructed are: Three (3) on Overlook Dr, One (1) on Heim Road between Oakland and Old 441, and One (1) on Tremain between the boat ramp and Charles.
4. Request Approval of Meeting Minutes -November 16, 2021, Regular City Council Session Minutes
