The Hendry County Board of County Commissioners held formal votes on several items at its April 22 meeting in LaBelle.
Key outcomes
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda as presented. (Motion recorded: mover Commissioner Glaser; second Commissioner Atkinson; outcome recorded as voice vote: “Aye.”)
- Proclamation: The board adopted a proclamation recognizing May 2025 as National Foster Care Awareness Month in Hendry County. The proclamation cited regional foster‑care statistics and recognized 4Kids Southwest Florida for its foster‑care and prevention work.
- Letter of support for Safe Harbor Hospice: Following a presentation by Safe Harbor Hospice, the board approved a motion to provide a letter of support for the provider’s application for state licensure. County staff said a signed letter was on hand to present to the applicant.
- Four Corners MSBU STAs with Johnson Engineering: The board authorized execution of STA No. 4 and STA No. 5 (post‑design services as engineer of record) with Johnson Engineering, subject to approval by Florida Commerce. Motions were made and approved by voice vote; commissioners recorded "Aye." (Board directed chair or vice chair to execute agreements in the chair’s absence, per the motions.)
Other procedural items: The board held a first reading on LDC 25‑00001 (shipping‑container accessory‑use amendment) and set the adoption hearing for May 13, 2025. No adoption votes were taken on that ordinance at the April 22 meeting.
The minutes and signed documents for the items above are maintained by County Administration; the record shows the board used voice votes for several routine motions and recorded “All in favor? Aye. Motion stands.” Specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript for those voice votes.
