AGENDA REPORT
DATE: November 24, 2025
TO: City Commission
FROM: Bill McDaniel, City Manager
SUBJECT: As-Needed Sanitary Sewer, Manhole Inspections, and Mapping
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City owns and operates a domestic wastewater facility regulated under the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Rule 62-600.705(2)(a) that requires the City develop and maintain a Collection System Action Plan to assess, repair, and replace aging or vulnerable components of its wastewater collection and transmission systems.
