Board issues proclamation honoring Attack 1 Fire Management and owner Kevin Carter

The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners adopted a proclamation honoring Attack 1 Fire Management Services and owner Kevin (Jesse) Carter after staff read the proclamation and commissioners voted to approve the item. The proclamation recognized Attack 1 Fire Management as the 2025 rural business owner of the year as identified by the U.S. Small Business Administration District office and commended the company for wildfire prevention work and training programs. The proclamation text, read on the record, stated the board’s desire to honor the company and Kevin Carter for the award and their contributions to safety and the local economy. After the proclamation was read, the board moved to place the agenda item under awards and presentations, approved that procedural change, then adopted the proclamation by motion and had a ceremonial photo on the dais; the item passed by unanimous voice vote. What was not in the record: The proclamation text as read references the SBA designation; no contract, funding or operational directive for county action related to Attack 1 was discussed or adopted during the meeting.
