Bay County Board of Commissioners Meeting (10/20/26)

The Bay County Board of Commissioners meeting was held October 20, 2026. The board approved several procurement-related resolutions, including a bid award to City Roofing for the Bay County Mosquito Control roof replacement under RFP 2026-9, a bid release for jail commissary services, an agreement with Fidler Technologies for FOIA document-scanning services, and a purchase and separation of MID accounts. Other approved agreements included the 2026 Justice Text software agreement, professional liability insurance through Alta Pro Lawyers Risk Purchasing Group, a 2027 Medicare Advantage contract renewal, and the 2026–2027 CASSA contract. The board also considered grant-related resolutions, including Operation Stonegarden and treatment court grant awards; no contract dollar amounts were stated in the transcript.

During public comment, speakers asked the county to establish a $50,000 annual budget line for sediment removal at the mouth of the Kallin River, saying county funding could support flood mitigation and help attract additional grant funding. No action on that request was recorded. Officials reported that the voter-approved kitchen expansion at the Bay County Community Center had held its ribbon cutting and described ongoing construction and equipment installation at the animal services building. The meeting also included an update on the use of opioid settlement funds by a local recovery program; no new funding decision was made on that request.
