Dixie County commissioners approve multiple administrative actions including contract extension and land lease
Summary
The board approved splitting a FY2026 allocation, extended the mosquito-control director’s contract through December 2025, and authorized a 95‑acre agricultural lease with Danny Riles; it also approved moving forward on code enforcement ordinance amendments.
At its April 17 meeting the Dixie County Board of County Commissioners approved several administrative items and provided direction on pending policy work.
Funding distribution: Staff requested direction on allocating $91,115 for fiscal year 2026. Commissioners agreed to split the first-year distribution and approved covering an additional $50,000 to meet needs. The motion to split funds passed after a motion by Daniel and a second recorded in the transcript; the board announced the motion carried.
Mosquito control contract: The board extended the agreement with Matthew Webb as Mosquito Control Director from July 2025 to December 2025 at the same price. The motion was made by David and seconded by Daniel and carried without recorded opposition.
Land lease: Commissioners approved a land-lease agreement for 95 acres along Prison Road (described at the meeting) with Danny Riles at $2.25 per acre per year. The meeting transcript lists a yearly total of $25.65, which appears to be a transcription error; the correct annual total at $2.25 per acre for 95 acres is $213.75. The motion to approve the lease was moved by Daniel, seconded by Jamie, and carried.
Code enforcement amendments: The county manager requested authority to move forward with amendments to the enforcement section of the land-development regulations and to engage legal review; the board approved proceeding and authorized advertisement of any changes required by process. Motion to proceed was made by Mark and seconded by David; motion carried.
Ending: Staff were directed to complete contract paperwork, proceed with legal review of code enforcement language, and return with any necessary advertising or follow-up reports.
