Summary
Ordinance 2026-99, introduced by Council Member Peluso, appropriates $640,000 in grant funding from the Florida Department of Transportation for the McDuff Avenue Roadway Improvements project.

The ordinance amends the 2026-2030 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan to include this project and mandates oversight by the Engineering and Construction Management Division of the Department of Public Works.
