The Clay County Board of County Commissioners convened on May 27, 2025, to discuss various community initiatives and administrative matters. The meeting began with a light-hearted moment as a commissioner shared a story about a local event attended by second graders, highlighting their engagement and excitement.

Following this, the meeting acknowledged the presence of constitutional officers, including Tax Collector Diane Hutchings and Clerk of the Court and Comptroller Tara Green, who had no additional comments to present. The commissioners then moved to approve the minutes from previous meetings held on May 6 and May 13, 2025. The motion was unanimously approved, reflecting a smooth start to the session.

The first public comment period featured Vivian Katz James, president of Save Our Lakes, who spoke about the community's efforts in lake restoration. She detailed a recent cleanup event at Lake Geneva, where approximately 40 volunteers collected 1.5 tons of debris from the lake bed. Katz James emphasized the community's commitment to the Lake Geneva Restoration Project, which is part of the larger Black Creek project aimed at revitalizing local waterways.

The meeting underscored the collaborative spirit of the community and the ongoing efforts to enhance the environmental health of Clay County's lakes. The commissioners expressed appreciation for the public's involvement and the progress being made in local restoration projects.
