4) Ordinance: revisions to Chapter 4 (animal control) — approved (unanimous)

- Vote: Unanimous roll call.

6) Ordinance: amendment to Macomba Marine LLC tax exemption/performance standards — approved (unanimous)
- Summary: Following prior direction to negotiate with Triumph Gulf Coast, Triumph agreed to a two‑year extension of the timeline for Macomba (Macomba Marine LLC) to meet agreed job targets and performance measures; the commission approved the modification to reflect the adjusted performance standards.
- Vote: Unanimous roll call.

Formal vote records and next steps
- For each recorded roll call in the meeting transcript, commissioners Carroll, Peace, Crosby, Raffield (Radford/Rathill recorded in one roll call) and Chairman Moore voted yes on the items listed above.
- Implementation assignments noted by staff: County manager/staff to execute contracts and agreements and the chairman to sign documents where authorized; Animal Control to update enforcement forms following the Chapter 4 amendments; public‑works and procurement staff to administer awarded contracts (Killian Construction, Eurofins Environmental) per contract terms.

Why this matters: Several actions modify how county services are delivered (animal control enforcement threshold, interlocal revenue sharing with Panama City) and authorize contracts and grants that establish infrastructure projects and service providers (fire station construction, laboratory services, grant modifications and lease changes). The Macomba amendment changes the timetable for a locally significant economic development performance standard tied to a tax exemption and Triumph Gulf Coast agreement.
