Dixie County commissioners approve noise ordinance, multiple land‑use petitions and several contracts
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Dixie County Board of County Commissioners adopted a countywide noise‑control ordinance on second reading and carried motions approving multiple land‑use special exceptions and several administrative contracts and reimbursements. Several project start authorizations were also approved.
The Dixie County Board of County Commissioners on second reading adopted a county noise‑control ordinance and carried a slate of routine land‑use approvals and administrative contracts.
The board voted 5‑0 to adopt the ordinance described in the meeting as "Dixie County ordinance number 2025‑07," which the reading said covers title, timing of prohibited noise, enforcement and remedies, and applies to unincorporated Dixie County. Speaker 2 read the ordinance on the record and asked for a motion; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
On land‑use business, the board accepted Local Planning Agency (LPA) recommendations and approved several petitions and special exceptions to the Land Development Regulations allowing recreational vehicles and related uses at specified parcels in Commission District 3. The clerk read the petitions (by parcel and applicant names as listed in the agenda) and the board moved and carried approvals on each petition presented with no recorded opposition during the meeting.
The commission also approved a set of administrative items without extended discussion, including: • A notice‑to‑proceed authorization for the 95th & 97th Street road project (the board authorized the chairman to execute a notice to proceed once the contractor signs the contract; an anticipated contractor start date was stated as November 3). • A ship‑repair reimbursement of $11,472.03 to Carroll Tow Bond (motion carried). • Execution of an opioid settlement distribution agreement between Lutheran Services Florida (LSF) and Dixie County (motion carried). • A contract of $115,000 for administrative oversight related to a stormwater task‑force recommendation (described in the agenda as "Lockler 2 ... administrative oversight"), which the board approved following a motion and brief discussion of grant funding. • A space‑sharing agreement between the Dixie County Health Department and North Florida Pediatrics (motion carried).
Where a mover or seconder was not explicitly recorded on the transcript, the minutes reflect "motion carried" with an audio vote. The board took no roll‑call vote listing individual commissioners on every item in the public transcript for each administrative approval; the meeting minutes should be consulted for the formal roll call and signed ordinance text.
What happens next: the ordinance becomes effective as provided in the enacted text; staff said the county will coordinate notice and discuss whether incorporated towns (notably Horseshoe Beach) want parallel local rules to align coverage. The road project will proceed once the contractor returns a signed agreement and the chairman signs the notice to proceed.
Votes and formal actions mentioned in this article were taken on the record during the meeting and are summarized above.
