Change BOCC Meeting Call-In Information

Important Notice to the Public

The Dixie County Board of County Commissioners is updating the way the public can listen to and participate in BOCC meetings by phone.

Beginning with the next BOCC meeting, the County will no longer use the previous FreeConference call‑in number. Instead, all public call‑in access will be provided through the County’s Microsoft Teams Audio‑Only meeting system.

This change improves:

  • Reliability of call‑in service
  • Audio clarity
  • Security and compliance, including Sunshine Law support
  • Consistency, with separate but permanent call‑in numbers for morning and evening meetings

Updated call‑in details will be included on all future published agendas, on the County website, and on posted notices.

The lands which are now Dixie County have a rich history. With the Steinhatchee River on the west and the Suwannee River on the east, it was prime land for the Native Americans and early settlers. According from one source, the first white man to come to the Dixie area was in 1820, a young man named George Miller who was from North Carolina. He became friends with Suwannee and Bowlegs, Native Americans, and sons of Chief Tigertail and his wife, Suwannee, of the Seminole tribe, who settled in the region around Lake Miccosukee near what is now Tallahassee. With the blessings of the Indians, Miller settled in the area. He planted corn and peanuts and raised cattle and hogs. Ten years later he was to die from malaria and buried into what is now known as Old Town.
