The Berkeley County Commission paused regular business to introduce and swear in an honorary commissioner, Nathaniel (introduced in the meeting as Nathaniel Waltz and later referred to as Nathaniel Wentz). He repeated the oath for the office and briefly described himself as an eighth-grade student at North Middle who hopes to pursue culinary school and become a cook.

Members presented him with a certificate, asked about his family and cooking interests, and invited him to bring in baked goods for commissioners to taste. The exchange was ceremonial and cordial; commissioners took photographs and welcomed him to sit with the board for part of the meeting.

The ceremony was recorded as part of the public meeting and preceded the commission's procurement and contract items later in the agenda.
