High Springs approves amended FDOT traffic-signal maintenance agreement; city to be reimbursed

The City Commission on May 8 approved Resolution 2025‑D, which authorizes an amendment to the traffic-signal maintenance and compensation agreement between the City of High Springs and the Florida Department of Transportation and authorizes the city manager to execute the amendment.

Staff explained the amendment updates the payment process and does not substantially change existing responsibilities. A city staff member summarized: “These are traffic lights that you all maintain for FDOT, and they pay you to maintain them.” During discussion the reimbursement amount figure referenced in the meeting was about $11,784; staff described the arrangement as essentially cost neutral because FDOT reimburses the city for maintenance costs rather than the city paying into the program.

A motion to approve Resolution 2025‑D carried on a recorded roll call with all commissioners voting yes. The mayor will sign the resolution and the city manager is authorized to execute the amendment per the approved resolution.
