Bay County OKs $10,000 media buy for MG grant outreach; staff says buys include social media and bus ads

The Bay County Board of Commissioners approved a media advertising agreement June 2 to support outreach for an MG grant in 2026.

A commissioner asked how much advertising $10,000 would procure. Joel, a county staff member, said the county typically uses that funding for social media advertisements and for ads on buses. "What we normally do is we do some ads on social media and also on the bus," Joel said.

The motion to approve the health officer agreement for MG grant outreach and promotion was moved, supported and carried by voice vote. The transcript does not specify the exact media plan or contract vendor; staff indicated typical channels but did not provide a line-item budget during the meeting.

The agreement was approved and will be implemented by the health officer's office in coordination with county procurement procedures.
