The Bay County Board of County Commissioners approved its consent agenda and a set of regular-agenda items during its March 4 meeting, covering budget amendments, leases, grant agreements, design task orders and road transfers.
The consent agenda — as presented by the deputy county manager — included: the Clerk of Court revenue and expenditures check register and annual investment report (acknowledgment); a fiscal year 2024–2025 budget amendment (adoption of a resolution amending the budget); approval of a sheriff's request to expend monies from the special law enforcement trust fund; execution of a parking lot lease renewal with Palm Bay Education Group, Inc.; a resolution renaming County Road 3031 from Thomas Drive to Navy Boulevard (moved later in the meeting to the regular agenda for discussion); a Department of Homeland Security grant agreement (R1290); an amendment to a Triumph Gulf Coast, Inc. grant agreement for Macoma Marine; and other routine items including a task order for dirt road paving design, FDOT temporary road closure support, a regional traffic signal operations amendment, a roadway transfer of Fortune Avenue to the city of Panama City, a Mexico Beach renourishment task order amendment, TDC public safety fund reimbursement to the Bay County Sheriff's Office, and a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund construction loan award (DW0302J0).
On the regular agenda the board approved several project-specific measures later in the meeting (separate articles in this package cover the larger projects). The board also adopted an ordinance aligning county language with a presidential executive order changing the name "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America."
Votes and roll-call outcomes recorded during the meeting were unanimous for the listed consent items and the regular-agenda approvals unless otherwise noted in the individual project discussions covered elsewhere in this package.
Ending: The board spent the remainder of the session on public comment and commissioner reports and closed the meeting after procedural business.
