Bay County commissioners approved the consent agenda at their Jan. 7 meeting, adopting routine financial reports and staff recommendations that included a fiscal year 2024-25 budget amendment resolution, board appointments and a three-year HVAC preventative maintenance contract.

A county staff member summarized the consent items: clerk of courts reports, the FY2025 budget amendment resolution for fiscal year 2024-25, board appointments and a three-year HVAC preventative maintenance agreement. The HVAC contract was described in staff remarks as a three-year agreement with "vacant applied" in the amount of $157,175 for HVAC preventative maintenance; staff asked the board to authorize execution of the contract and any necessary modifications as approved by the county attorney.

The commission moved to approve the consent agenda. On a roll-call vote, Commissioners Peace, Carroll, Crosby, Raffield and Chairman Moore each voted yes and the consent agenda passed.

The board then advanced to the regular agenda and public hearings.
