Summary
At a brief meeting, Patricia Petrovsky recited the oath of office and was welcomed as Lee County's District 5 commissioner; a chair's welcome in the transcript contains a one-time spelling variant of her surname.
Patricia Petrovsky was sworn in as Lee County’s District 5 commissioner during a brief ceremony in which she recited the statutory oath of office and pledged to support the U.S. and Florida constitutions.
“I, Patricia Petrovsky, do solemnly swear ... that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the state of Florida ... and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of commissioner for Lee County,” Petrovsky said, concluding the oath with “So help me God.”
The swearing-in was followed by brief remarks of congratulations from board members. A board member asked that the chair welcome the new commissioner, and the chair responded, addressing her as “Patricia Petrolski.” The record contains that single variant spelling; the sworn statement and multiple earlier segments identify the official as Patricia Petrovsky.
No motions or votes were recorded during the ceremony. An unidentified speaker noted there would be no public comments at that time and advised interested parties to be in contact later.
The oath establishes Petrovsky as the county commissioner representing District 5; the meeting did not record further debate, votes, or policy direction tied to the swearing-in.
