The Bay County Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 7 approved a consent agenda that included grant agreements, contract awards, a change order for resurfacing work and several state grant amendments.

The consent agenda, presented by county staff, bundled multiple items for single action. Staff outlined items including a FY 25 public transportation service development grant agreement in the amount of $711,896; a Bayline Railroad preliminary engineering cost reimbursement agreement for the NE 231 intersection realignment project; change order No. 1 for FY 25 annual resurfacing phase 2 to Roberts & Roberts Inc. in the amount of $133,434.25 for emergency stabilization work; and a $200,000 Florida Department of Environmental Protection agreement for a living shoreline suitability tool for the St. Andrew and St. Joseph bays. The board also approved amendments and subaward changes related to Restore Act and FDEP projects and authorized awards for professional survey services (Contract 25-49).

The board approved the consent agenda by roll call after a motion and second. A commissioner announced a recusal on a related project before the vote and stated, “I’ll be recusing.” The chair called the roll and multiple commissioners recorded “Yes, ma’am.”
