Highlands County commissioners approve consent agenda during brief Nov. 4 special meeting

The Highlands County Board of County Commissioners met in a special session on Nov. 4, 2025, at 12:22 p.m. at 600 South Commerce Avenue in Sebring and approved the consent agenda by roll call.

Unidentified Speaker 2 initiated the action by addressing the presiding officer: “Madam Chair, move to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.” A second was recorded in the meeting. After the motion and second were acknowledged, the presiding officer conducted a roll call of commissioners. Commissioners Elwell, Campbell, Kerouac, Roberts and Tuck each answered in the affirmative and the presiding officer announced, “The motion carries.”

The approval consisted of routine consent-agenda business (items not specified in the transcript). No ordinances, individual contract awards, or budget amendments are noted in the provided segments. Following the vote to approve the consent agenda, Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to adjourn and a second was recorded; the transcript ends after that exchange and does not include a separate roll-call vote on the adjournment.

The meeting was described as having all members present earlier in the call, and the presiding officer noted the board had “all our members back.” The session was brief and procedural: agenda items were read, the consent agenda was approved, and the board moved to adjourn.
