Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 Tuesday morning to remove the mask mandate at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center on Okaloosa Island starting May 15. 
Safety practices such as social distancing and limiting capacity to 75% will remain in effect. 
The non-agenda item was brought to the board Tuesday morning by Chairwoman Carolyn Ketchel, a strong proponent for masks last summer as the county and the state were experiencing a surge of COVID cases. 
At the meeting, Ketchel said it should be up to individuals whether to mask up.

In addition to the salary study, commissioners want a performance review for Tusa, and Commissioner Mike Barker asked to take a look at Tusa s contract to see if it includes any performance standards to use as a means to decide whether a salary hike is warranted. ....
