Dade County commissioners approve consent agenda, financial report unanimously

The Dade County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Oct. 2 regular meeting to approve the consent agenda and accept the county financial report.

The consent agenda included an appointment to the Alcohol Beverage Control board to fill an unexpired term, SPLOST capital funding for a replacement backwash tank at the county water treatment plant, SPLOST funds to buy a used mobile breathing-air compressor for local fire departments, and a resolution to accept a Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant for the county fire department.

County finance staff presented a year-to-date financial report showing revenues above budget and expenses below budget through August; commissioners moved and seconded approval and recorded unanimous yes votes from the four named commissioners and the chair. No abstentions or recusals were recorded.

Actions recorded on the consent agenda included a motion to approve the full consent package and a separate motion to accept the financial report. Both passed by unanimous roll-call vote.

The commissioners placed the consent items and the financial report on the record and closed the items without further separate debate.

The board adjourned after short announcements about upcoming community events and reminders to the public.
